A.J With the Mission President and his wife

Letter from Mission President to Parents

Dear Brother and Sister Briggs,

      You son, Elder Andrew James Briggs, arrived safely in Indiana. It was a pleasure to meet and welcome him to the mission. He has a solid testimony of the gospel and is excited to be doing the Lord's work. Sister Collins and I look forward to serving with your son during this special time in this life.

      I know Elder Briggs will appreciate letters from home, but I discourage phone calls or visits except for emergency situations, and with prior coordination with me. I recommend that you send all mail and packages to your son's apartment address. Due to postal regulations, packages cannot be forwarded unless they are Priority or First class mail.

      Sister Collins and I will love, care for and watch over Elder Briggs as if he were our own son. Thank you for the love and support you have given, and will give him on his mission.

Sincerely,
Kent Collins
Mission President
