Letter from Aubrey's Brazil MTC Mission President and His Wife in Brazil. First Word of Her Safe Arrival!

Hey everybody, this is Aubrey's Dad.  I've fallen way behind in updating Aubrey's blog with her letters and pictures, for which she will probably whack me with a stick when she gets home!  Regardless, I am catching up now and will faithfully post her letters each week.  Doesn't she look so happy in the picture below?!  What a great daughter.  She's going to be a fantastic missionary!


Letter dated:  July 31st, 2013 

Dear Parents,

We are happy to send the good news that your missionary has arrived safely at the Brazil MTC. What a great joy and privilege it is to greet each missionary as they come through the front door of the MTC for the first time. We promise to take good care of your missionary.

They now have companions and are settled into their rooms. They are assigned to a district with capable and caring instructors for language and lesson study. The branch presidents and their wives, will soon give them a second greeting. These couples are rewarded in their callings through the love they always develop as they embrace and watch over the missionaries.

The MTC has a full time live-in physician to care for their health needs. He is assisted by his able wife. We are also happy to report that the Cafeteria food is abundant and very good.

Your missionary will be able to e-mail home on Preparation Day after a morning at the Temple. This will be either Wednesday or Friday, depending on individual assignments.

Your very important young person is about to make an eternal difference in the lives of others. We hope you will be encouraged and comforted by this quote by President Lorenzo Snow: “There is no mortal man that is as interested in the success of an elder when he is preaching the Gospel as is the Lord who sent him to preach to the people who are the Lord's children".

Please accept our love,

President Ralph Degn and Sister Mary Ann Degn
