Mission President's Email to David's Parents

Elder McNamara arrived Friday evening here in Tampico with 5 other North Americans. He is healthy and happy to be in his mission. He ate a meal of authentic Mexican tacos and spent the night with the elders who work in the office. After training all day Saturday and an interview with the mission president, he was assigned to work with a pair of missionaries in Tampico.

Because the mission will not have transfers until next week, he will be in a "trio" for the week.  Five Mexican missionaries will arrive the following week and Elder McNamara will be assigned to his trainer. His trainer will most likely be a native Spanish-speaking missionary.

You should be receiving emails from your son on Mondays, generally, beginning tomorrow. He would appreciate a note each week just to let him know you are okay and that you are thinking of him.

We are pleased to have your son here. We appreciate your love and support  for him. An FAQ sheet is attached. If you have additional questions or if you ever need to contact the mission, feel free to use this email or the cell phone number below. We also attach a photo taken the day after his arrival.
