Dear Family of Elder
West,
We are pleased to
inform that your son has arrived safe and sound and smiling to the Chile Osorno
Mission. It was a pleasure for us to greet your son upon his arrival and
feel his desire to serve. Enclosed is a picture that we took with him shortly
after his arrival. After a short period of orientation regarding mission
procedures, customs of the country, etc., we assigned Elder West to work in the
city of Coyhaique with Elder Ryan as his companion. Your son's address
during his time in the mission will be:
Elder Jacob West
Casilla 7-0
Osorno, Chile
Sister Obeso and I
love our missionaries and are truly happy to have the opportunity to work with
Elder West. We appreciate your willingness to share him with us as he works
as a missionary and ambassador for the Lord in Chile. Sharing the gospel with these deserving
children of our Father in Heaven will certainly bring great joy and
satisfaction to him, and to you as well.
Thank you so much for helping him get to this point.
Please write him
regularly–at least once a week. Your
love, interest, and support will be of great help to him. Should there be any emergency or if you
desire information regarding any urgent situation, please feel free to contact
the Missionary Department in Salt Lake City rather than go to the expense of
phoning the mission here in Chile.
The missionary work is
progressing rapidly here in southern Chile, and I hope that you will share in
his exciting mission experience as Elder West writes to you weekly and keeps
you informed of his challenges and achievements and experiences.
Sincerely,
President Rodrigo
Obeso
