Dear
Brother and Sister Brown,
President
Hill and I were thrilled to meet Elder Brown as he arrived in
the Bucuresti airport with his MTC group. He seemed very happy finally to be in
the mission field after his weeks in the MTC. He was surprisingly awake after
his long flights. President Hill had an enjoyable interview with him, where he
learned more about this young man, and I got to spend some time with him too.
We were both pleased with the ease with which he fit in. Thank you very much
for sending him to us.
After
some time doing preliminaries for his visa, we all had dinner at the mission
home with his MTC group, after which, he was whisked away to spend the night
with the Elders.
The
next morning, in the cold and snow, we met at Cismigiu Park where, in 1990,
Elder Russell M. Nelson dedicated the land of Romania for teaching the gospel.
Together, we snapped a picture of the group. I'm attaching the picture for you
to see, along with the picture of Elder Brown with President Hill and me.
Then,
all the incoming missionaries continued their visa processing, after which they
worked hard to stay awake through our orientation meeting and then met their
first companions. Elder Brown is now with his initial companion, Elder
Barclay, in the capital city, Bucharest. Elder Barclay is a fun, energetic
missionary who will give him an excellent start.
Thanks
again for sending us such a wonderful young missionary. We could tell he will
be a very good, faithful, hard-working missionary.
With
much appreciation,
Sister
Hill
