"Dear Brother and Sister Conder,
We are happy to let you know your son arrived safely in Kingston, Jamaica. He is in good spirits and arrived anxious to become involved in the great work being done here. When he arrived we met him at the airport and brought him to the mission home where he spent his first night. We helped him with banking and immigration matters and then provided training and orientation.
He was interviewed and met his trainer, Elder Ashton. They then went to their area where they began the work he came here to do. Your son will be serving in Highgate. As parents we can appreciate your concern for him and his welfare and felt you would like to know he is safe and doing fine.
We want to thank you for raising such a fine son and for your support for him while he is here. Your support for the next few weeks while he may experience some homesickness will be very important. The work is really beginning to blossom here in Jamaica and the people are warm and friendly. We are confident he will have a special experience. We can assure you we will do everything we can to help him grow and develop and are confident his testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ will increase. Through his mission experiences he will draw closer to our Savior. We are so grateful to have him here.
We will appreciate your continued support. Please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance. We will be sending another email soon with a picture of him at the mission home. The assistants were busy with transfers today and will be off-island for a few days and they have the picture.
Gratefully,
President and Sister Hendricks"
