"Dear Brother & Sister Brown,
We are pleased to welcome your son to the Texas Fort Worth Mission. It was wonderful to hsare some time in the Mission Home with your missionary. Be assured all is well and a great experience will be enjoyed during this time of service. We hope this photograph will symbolize for you our desire to work as a team with this fine missionary in accomplishing the purposes for which he was called. Please note that his release date is currently scheduled around 11 Oct 2011. You will receive more information about this as that date approaches.
We encourage you to write your son often expressing love and support for this great work. Missionaries feel the prayerful strength of their loved ones. As missionaries choose to be spiritually prepared, obedient in all things, and faithful to their covenants, they can fully reside all the great blessings the Lord has in store for them.
We ask that you not phone or accept phone calls from your missionary without first speaking with the Mission President. This time honored mission rule allows the missionary to experience personal growth and independence.
May the Lord bless you and your family as you share your son with those he is called to serve."
Sincerely,
Wright & Janett Thurston
