We were very happy and surprised to receive photos and letters not only from his new mission president, but also the member he stayed with the evening he arrived in Spokane.

Hi Everyone… my wife and I were fortunate to meet your missionaries last night, and host them for the night after their arrival in Spokane. I picked them up from the mission home about 9pm last night, and they were a pretty tired bunch after having been awake since 4am that morning. We gave them soft beds to sleep in and a hot breakfast this morning before taking them to the Spokane East stake center at 8:45 to meet their new companions and begin their service.
Attached are some pictures of them at breakfast (we had green egg breakfast burritos in commemoration of their first day as “greenies”!)
Your young men are delightful. We greatly enjoyed the little bit of time we spent with them, and we found them to be eager and prepared for the journey that lies ahead. Thank you for sending such terrific ambassadors to our little neck of the woods. We’re certain the Lord will bless them (an you) in their service.
Steve Uptain
