This is a letter we received today from Trevor's mission president in Germany. He sounds so nice. I know Trevor will be well taken care of while he's there serving with President and Sister Ninow.
Dear Brother and Sister Baker,
Sister Ninow and I are pleased to welcome your son, Elder Trevor Joseph Baker, who has been called to serve with us in the Germany Frankfurt Mission. His call comes from a prophet of God and we are grateful for the preparation your son has made to receive this call.
Please know that Sister Ninow and I love our missionaries. During their 6 week cycles, I stay close to the missionaries through their weekly email letter that they send to me sharing their experiences, their missionary activities from the past week, things they have learned, miracles they have seen and how their testimonies are being strengthened. I also have personal interviews with each missionary and we meet with them at regularly held Zone Conferences and other Training Meetings. We also encourage them to call us with any medical concerns or questions.
Upon Elder Baker's arrival, we will have an orientation for all our new missionaries to assist them in a smooth transition. This orientation will include instructions on handling their finances, processing their legal forms and orienting them to the driving laws of the country. I will also have the opportunity to conduct our first interview and get to know Elder Baker a little better. We will enjoy dinner together at the mission home and the next morning, each missionary will be assigned to their companion who will serve as their "Trainer" and they then travel to their first assignment area.
In our desire to do all we can for Elder Baker we request the following items from you:
1. Please send us a letter telling us about Elder Baker. This could include topics such as family--brothers and sisters, achievements, honors, work experience, like and dislikes, and personality characteristics. We appreciate and value your insights and cherish these letters of introduction.
2. Please write a letter of encouragement and support to your son about three weeks before his scheduled arrival time in Germany and mail it to the mission office so that we can present it to him upon his arrival.
I know that our Heavenly Father will continue to bless you as your support your missionary in this very important work. We look forward to welcoming Elder Baker to the Germany Frankfurt Mission.
With warm regards,
Kevin J. Ninow
President, Germany Frankfurt Mission
