a letter from the mission President

Hello...parents of these wonderful new missionaries! Don't they look fantastic? Thought you'd like to see for yourselves!Just wanted you to know they arrived safely this afternoon at the Atlanta Airport. They began proselyting immediately and had a great experience on the MARTA trains...talking to everyone they saw and handing out copies of the Book of Mormon, "Truth Restored"/mormon.org cards and Church pamphlets. We enjoyed dinner (they were starving!), a testimony meeting and introductions to the mission and each other. Each one had an interview with President King (all 17!)...plus they wrote their testimonies, opened your wonderful letters(thank you!) and found out where they'll be serving and who their trainers/companions will be. It was a wonderful evening. You'll be receiving two letters shortly--one from your missionary and another from us with a printed picture for their scrapbooks.Thank you for training up such wonderful young people. They come to us well-prepared, happy and optimistic...with deep testimonies. Please be sure to write them an encouraging letter every week...and they will also write you. There will be many marvelous experiences to share.Any questions or concerns...please let us know!Best wishes,President and Sister King (and 16-year old Connor)Georgia Atlanta North Mission
