Dear Brother and Sister Terry,
On Wednesday afternoon, my
wife, Julie, and I, greeted Sister Sidney Anne Terry at the Minneapolis St.
Paul Airport and welcomed her to this great mission. She was happy and excited to begin her
mission. Thank you for all of your
efforts to prepare her for the adventure that lies ahead. We understand what a great sacrifice you are
making to support your daughter.
We drove from the airport to the
mission home and took pictures of our new group of elders and sisters. The day was sunny, and beautiful. We then had lunch and provided a mission
orientation. I also interviewed each
missionary. The Assistants provided
training in finding new investigators.
At about 6:30 pm , Sister Clements and I introduced them to their
trainers, who greeted them with big smiles and bear hugs. After some more training, we sent them off to
their assigned areas. Sister Terry has an outstanding trainer whom I carefully
and prayerfully selected. In two weeks, we
will bring them back to Bloomington
for a day of training in finding, teaching, goal setting and planning.
Your daughter joins a
remarkable corps of accomplished and dedicated missionaries. There is a great tradition of obedience and
accomplishment in this mission. She will
serve with missionaries who desire to build the kingdom and who are willing to sacrifice
their all for the cause. We serve in a
beautiful part of the Lord’s vineyard where mighty rivers and beautiful lakes
are plentiful. We are privileged to
serve among faithful saints.
Please encourage your daughter
to obey all mission rules. She will
become stronger, more mature, and more self-disciplined as she faithfully
follows the rules. Her first area of
service is Eden Prairie , MN ; her companion is Sister Stephanie Mansfield . Attached are some photos, which I hope you
will enjoy.
Regards,
Jordan W. Clements
