Hello, parents of these wonderful new missionaries! Don't they look fantastic! Thought you'd like to see for yourselves! Just wanted you to know they arrived safely this afternoon at the Atlanta Airport (and the weather was "cooler" than usual--yay!) They began proselyting immediately and had a great experience on the MARTA trains (but a lot LONGER experience than any of our other incoming groups have had--they'll explain when they write you!). They talked to everyone they saw and handed out copies of the Book of Mormon, Truth Restored/mormon.org cards and Church pamphlets. We enjoyed dinner (they were starving!), a testimony meeting and introductions to the mission and each other. Each one is having a personal interview with President King tonight and tomorrow morning...plus they wrote their testimonies and opened your wonderful letters (thank you!). It was a great evening. You'll be receiving two letters shortly--one from your missionary and another from us with a printed picture for their scrapbooks. Thank you for training up such wonderful young people. They come to us well prepared, happy and optimistic...with deep testimonies. Please be sure to write them an encouraging letter every week...and they will also write you. There will be many marvelous experiences to share...Any questions or concerns, please let us know!
Best wishes,
President and Sister King (and 16-year old Connor)
Georgia Atlanta North Mission
PS--Sorry the picture is a little dark--it was later than usual when we shot it, and it was a bit trickier with such a big group. The other photo you will soon receive in the mail is plenty bright!
