Letter From Mission President July 27, 2010

Dear Mr and Mrs Bair
     Your son, Elder Jared Steven Bair, has arrived safely in Indiana and it was a pleasure to meet and welcome him to the mission.  He has a solid testimony of the Gospel and is excited to be doing the Lord's work.  Sister Collins and I look forward to serving with your son during this special time in his life.

     We know Elder Bair will appreciate letters from home, but we discourage phone calls or visits except for emergency situations, and with prior corrdination with the Mission President.  We strongly recommend that you send all mail and packages to his apartment address.  Due to postal regulations, we are unable to forward packages unless they are Priority or First Class mail.

     Sister Collins and I will love, care for, and watch over Elder Bair as if he were our own son.  Thank you for all of the love and support you have given and will give him on his mission.  We know all of you will be greatly blessed while he is serving the Lord.

Sincerely,
Kent H. Collins
Mission President
