Was a hoot! It was a piece of paper that had a typed message to the missionaries that said 'We would like your parents to receive a letter from you on the first week. Please complete this letter no later than Wed evening and ensure that it is mailed by Thu afternoon." It then listed the top 10 questions parents/families usually have. They recommended answering those type of questions in their letters.
What Ster did: He answered those questions 1-10 on the back of the letter the mission office gave him! Too funny. :) So here are some things he said:
1. First impression of Florida: I was stoked once I got here, and the humidity is AWESOME! (Can you hear his sarcastic voice?) :)
2. The mission president and his wife along w/ the APs were at the airport to meet and pick them up. (APs: Assistant to the mission President)
3. What happened when they got there: We had lunch at the mission pres house and a meeting there. About their purpose. Their purpose is to baptize. Which in their area has been a 200% increase!
4. What is making you happy right now: Is the spirit and knowing that eventually I will learn Spanish
5. What do you especially appreciate about your family or those supporting you: Thank you for all your love and support. I'm probably on this mission because of your constant prayers and example to me.
6. What advice that you received before leaving is turning out to be the most valuable: Having patience, being humble, most important stay faithful.
