Arrived in Romania 8-5-2014

Dear Brother & Sister Everton,

We are happy to let you know that Elder Everton has survived the long flight and is here with us in Bucharest, Romania. We feel so blessed to have him with us. After much prayer and thought, your missionary will be assigned a city and a companion. We believe that we have been called to serve with your child and feel the responsibility of our stewardship. We are dedicated to help your missionary have a meaningful, spiritual mission experience.

We ask our missionaries and their families to come to this experience with energy, intelligence, and integrity. It takes hard work and sacrifice to make a mission meaningful. Please know of the love we feel toward our missionaries. We want them to succeed as individuals and companionships during their missions and throughout their lives. We will be working with them closely. We are available at all times for the missionaries and for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

We love the Lord. We believe deeply in the goodness of the gospel and the blessings that come through membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Your missionary will bring strength and courage to our mission. We look forward to developing strong testimonies through the missionary schedule of discipline and good works. Together, we will make our sacrifice holy unto the Lord.

All Our Best,



President and Sister Ivory
