Letter from President Jim and Sister Char Christensen

They have Arrived

Dear Parents of our wonderful missionaries,

We just want you to know that your missionary has arrived safe and sound! We love these pictures taken right after they got off the plane and although they are jet-lagged  we are excited to get to know them and begin serving together.  We spent the afternoon interviewing them and they are a very impressive set of Elders and Sisters. They have gone to their new areas with their companions tonight and they will return to the mission home in 10 days when they are over their jet lag and we will spend a couple of days training together. Monday their first priority will be to write you and report all their adventures as they settle into their new areas.

Cambodia is a wonderful country and we feel the blessings of our Father in Heaven being poured out on these people as the church continues to grow here. In the next few months as your missionary’s language skills increase and he or she begins to personally know the people in their areas we are confident that their excitement and love for missionary work will only grow.  We already love your missionary, we were overwhelmed with their expressions of faith and excitement today and we promise you that we will love and treat each of them as one of our own.  Thank you  for trusting our Father in Heaven enough to send your child to this part of the world and know of our confidence that God watches over his missionaries here and blesses them every day.

May God bless you and your family as you continue this wonderful adventure,

Love,

President Jim and Sister Char Christensen

A long line of tuk tuk’s taking missionaries and their companions to the mission home!
