He made it there!!


Dear Brother and Sister Turley,                                                                               July 31, 2017
Your Son, Elder Gavin Karl Turley, has arrived safely in Indiana.  It was a pleasure to meet and welcome him to the mission.  He has a solid testimony of the gospel and is excited to be doing the Lord’s work.  Sister Carlson and I look forward to serving with your son during this special time in his life.
I know Elder Turley will appreciate letters from home, but I discourage phone calls or visits except for emergency situations, and with prior coordination with me.  I recommend that you send all mail and packages to the office.  We will forward items to your son’s apartment address. 
Sister Carlson and I will love, care for, and watch over Elder Turley as if he were our own son.  Thank you for the love and support you have given, and will give him on his mission.
Sincerely,

Daryl H. Carlson
Mission President

Elder Turley found Uncle Steve at the Salt Lake Airport.  Steve got him where he needed to go.

This is the biggest group of missionaries

So I made it to Indiana. Yesterday we just flew in and stayed at the mission home. I got all my packages and my bike. My companion is awesome. He is from Gilbert so he is friends with cash and he knows the same people I know. He seems super coool so I am super excited to meet him. Indiana is sooo pretty. It is super green and super flat. I am in Carmel Indiana. it’s the richest area in the mission so the houses are huuuge. Everyone said I am so lucky to be in this area. My companions name is Elder Allred. But I am going to love him. I don’t have my camera on me. I’ll send pictures next week because I haven’t taken any yet. I love you. bye

Dear Missionary Family:                                                       August 1, 2017
              As you can see, your missionary arrived safely in Indiana this afternoon!  We are so happy to have each and everyone of them here with us.  After we met the new missionaries at the airport we brought them to the mission home for dinner, introductions and rest.
              Tomorrow morning, after a good breakfast, the newly arrived missionaries will attend an orientation meeting at the chapel located in Fishers (which is about 10 minutes from the mission home and is also the location of the mission office).  In the early afternoon your missionary will meet their companion and then travel to their first assigned area.
              We appreciate all you do to encourage your missionary in their adjustment to missionary life.  We are so impressed by the caliber of these missionaries.  We truly love them, as we know you do, too.
              Our mission has a Facebook page on which we post pictures of the missionaries from time to time.  It is called “Indiana Indianapolis Mission with Full Purpose of Heart”.
