Week 1 Out in the Missionfield  (finally!)

This is the letter and photos we received from Elder Hald's wonderful new mission president in Tirana, Albania.

September  5, 2013

Dear Bishop and Sister Hald,

Your son, Elder Jonathan Hald, arrived safe and sound at the Mission Home last evening.  He will be serving in the 2^nd Branch.  This will be in the District of Tirana.  His companion will be Elder Benjamin Matson .

Sister Ford and I are so pleased to have Elder Hald as one of our missionaries and look forward to getting to know him well. We know that he will be able to contribute much to the missionary effort of teaching the people of Albania about Jesus Christ.

Missionaries absolutely love to receive mail and can be contacted either by email or by sending letters through the post office to:
