Dear Parents, April 11,
2014
Sister Swensen and I are
very happy to let you know that your missionary has arrived safely at the
Brazil Missionary Training Center. What a great joy and privilege it is
to greet each missionary as they begin their missionary experiences with us. We
will surely take good care of your missionary.
The missionaries now
have companions and are settled into their rooms. They are assigned to a
district with capable and caring instructors for language and lesson
study. Their branch presidents and wives, will meet them this
Sunday. These wonderful couples are richly blessed as they work with,
motivate, and interview the missionaries assigned to their branch.
The MTC has a full-time
live-in physician to care for their health needs. He is assisted by his
able wife who is a nurse. We are also happy to report that the cafeteria food
is plentiful, healthy and very good.
Your missionary will be
able to e-mail home on Preparation Day after a morning at the Temple.
This will be either Wednesday or Friday, depending on
individual assignments.
Your missionary is about
to make an eternal difference in the lives of many others. President Lorenzo
Snow said: “There is no mortal man that is as
interested in the success of an elder when he is preaching the Gospel as is the
Lord who sent him to preach to the people who are the Lord's children".
We love these missionaries as if they were our own. We will watch over
them carefully to ensure they are ready for a wonderful missionary experience
after the rewarding time they will have in the MTC.
We thank you for
preparing such a wonderful representative of the Lord.
President Robert Swensen
and Sister Julie Swensen
