Dear Brother and Sister Nelson,
We are so grateful to have Elder Benjamin Michael Nelson join us here in the California Riverside Mission! It was exciting to meet him at the airport. I had the opportunity to interview your missionary and we were able to hear his testimony before having dinner together. We have been impressed with his testimony and desire to serve. It has been a privilege to get to know him.
Elder Nelson is now hard at work in his new area, the MT. RUBIDOUX Zone with his companion Elder Nathan Marchant Willes|Hao Tian Zeng .
Preparation day is Monday; most missionaries choose to email their family on that day. We encourage you to write or email weekly as well. Thank you for keeping your letters positive, uplifting and encouraging Elder Nelson to work hard and take advantage of the time spent here in doing the work of the Lord.
As we visited with him, this is what he said about his family: "My family is super loving! I have a big family and have the cutest baby brother!" He shared how he is most excited to serve the Lord, love the people, get to know the area, and experience new things.
We look forward to a wonderful experience together with your missionary. Thank you for preparing one worthy to serve. May God continue to bless you.
Sincerely,
John H. Mullen, President
