Safe Arrival Letter

Dear Family,

We are thrilled to inform you that your missionary has arrived safely to the mission field.  Elder Duncan appears to be healthy, and in good spirits, and seems eager to get to work. He will be meeting his Trainer today, and then after some orientation and training, will be traveling with his companion to their new area this evening.  Thank you so much for raising your son in such a way that he is willing and worthy to serve a mission. 

Elder Duncan is in good hands!  His Preparation Day will be on Tuesdays.  He will also let you know, in advance, if a Preparation Day changes due to a Federal Holiday or a special temple visit.

Along with your missionary’s photo with President and Sister Quereto, I have attached a letter from Elder Henry explaining how we handle the mail in the mission. Do not hesitate to email or call if you have any questions or concerns, as we are here to ensure that your missionary is happy, healthy, and successful.

Warm Regards!
Sister Henry
Mission Secretary
Washington Kennewick Mission

Consider The Lilies

Hey all! Spring is in full swing! What a wonderful time of year. My companions can testify that I say "wow. Look how pretty those flowers are!" quite often. We are in good hands, and what wonderful creations our heavenly father has made! Matthew 6:26, 28 "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" "...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:" The bugs are out too. Each night when we get back, half a swarm of gnats follows us inside. They seem friendly enough, though! Pam came to church a third time! She's preferring to study independently right now, so we can't take any credit, but needless to say, she is very cool. Have a great week! I'll be sharing the good news of Jesus Christ's resurrection! Élder Duncan The neighbor's dog, Toby, often comes here. Exchanges, we had tw...

Dios Magnifica Nuestro Esfuerzo

¡Hola a todos! I'm really enjoying my time here at the CCM. I've already seen the ways in which God supports his missionaries. It's hard to spend time here without your love for Jesus Christ increasing.  Since the Last time I emailed, I became district leader! My comps became zone leaders over Rama 9, and that left the position to be filled. My district makes my job easy though, because they all rock.  I've notice that I've really been missing being able to listen to music. I've lost count of the amount of times I've wanted to play "I've got a dream" or "Quien serà" by Pedro Infante. Just those two songs in particular though. I think I'll ask my teacher to play the latter in class... Otherwise, since we can only listen to hymns, you find out pretty quickly what everyone's favorite hymns. And listening to the tabernacle choir when Elder Temple turns it on gives me nostalgia and the strange urge to build large structures out of ...

Sick Conference!

Hola! The last week has been great! I'm getting further and further prepared to head to Washington! I'm heading out next Wednesday, the 16th First, on Friday morning, we had the opportunity to sing to the incoming missionaries the song that our district had been preparing. It was an arrangment of the FSY medley. We were surprised to have gotten the opportunity to play, because our audition hadn't been our best run through. Then the morning of, everyone was a little sick, but we said a prayer before, and the spirit was there in that performance. The new missionaries said they quite enjoyed it. The big one: CONFERENCE! Woot! This conference was amazing. I was able to stay awake the whole time with help from my comps, and I took a whole lot of notes. I really enjoyed Elder Budge's talk about being still. It was a great reminder to me that just as it's important to talk to God when we pray, it's just as important to take time and listen. I pictured a Zen room, simil...
