Mission President

Dear Bro. and Sis. Devey,

 

It was a great pleasure to welcome your son, Elder Devey, to our mission.  He arrived in good health, ready to begin his missionary work here in the New Zealand Auckland Mission.  I have interviewed him carefully and find him well prepared, with a strong testimony.  He is a credit to his parents and we appreciate the privilege of having him here in the mission.  I feel honored to be his mission president and know that the Lord has prepared many people here to receive the testimony of the restoration he bears.

 

Elder Devey has been assigned Elder Atkin to be his first companion, his “trainer,” who will help your son adjust to missionary life.  They have been assigned to work in the Manurewa area.  We are confident that as they work diligently together that the lord will bless them in accordance with their faithfulness, and they will experience the joy of seeing our Heavenly Father’s children progress towards baptism in His church.

 

Your son will look forward to your weekly letters of encouragement and support.  Monday is his preparation day and will be when he is able to check for and write emails.  All mailed letters should be sent to the Mission Office, which address is located in the letterhead above. 

 

Thank you for all you have done to prepare your son for his mission.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.  Sister Porter and I will do everything in our power to help him have a wonderful and productive mission.  We pray the Lord will bless and sustain you in his absence.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

President Benson L. Porter
