Dear Brother and Sister Robinson,

Just a note to let you know that your son arrived safely in the Dominican Republic Santiago
Mission. We are pleased to have him with us. His trainer is Elder Austin Johnson, from
Ogden, Utah. He is an excellent missionary and will take good care of your son.

We appreciate so much the enthusiasm and desire your son has to serve his fellow man.
Likely never again will he have the opportunity to serve with the vitality and energy of youth,
donating 100% of his time to the Lord. We ask you to help him cherish his mission – to work
hard, to fight discouragement, and to love his companion and the people he is serving.

Please do not worry about him. He is in the Lord's hands, but he will need your
encouragement and support for he will experience many trials that will strengthen and profit
him eternally. Weekly letters are very important in maintaining a missionary’s enthusiasm.
We would request that your letters to him be uplifting, spiritually edifying, and mission-
centered. Please keep him free of unnecessary worry about home and family. Details of
every little problem or challenge at home are an unneeded burden for a missionary trying to
devote himself fully to his Lord and Savior.

We know that you can help him give himself fully to the work through your inspiring letters
and words of encouragement. We will do everything we can to help ensure that your son
serves a successful mission. We thank you for having the faith to entrust him to us and,
more especially, to the Lord. May the Lord bless you.

Sincerely,

Miguel A. Lee
Mission President
