We got a wonderful surprise tonight. We thought Jace was leaving the CCM to go to Piura tomorrow. But I got a FB notification from the mission page that said "Welcome to all of our new missionaries". I clicked on the pics and there he was! So hooray!!! No stressing out tomorrow wondering if he's okay and if he got there safely. He's there and he looks fantastic! See for yourself.....
Fresh out of the airport
Doesn't he look great?!!
We also got an email from his mission president:
Dear Brother & Sister Meier,
We are so happy to have
Elder Meier serving in the Peru Piura Mission!
He arrived eager to go to work and we are impressed with his enthusiasm
and desire to serve our Heavenly Father as a missionary. After meeting him at the airport we had a
luncheon at the Mission Home followed by a devotional and an interview. The following day was a morning of training
and the assignment of his trainer/companion.
Trainers are chosen for their obedience, patience, dedication and the
guidance of the Holy Ghost. We know
that as these two missionaries study, pray and work together they will be
blessed and guided in their service and find joy in teaching and sharing the
gospel message. We are attaching a photo of your missionary with his new
companion and us.
We are grateful to you for
sharing your son with us. We know that
thru hard work, obedience and prayer Elder Meier will find joy in serving the
Lord and the beautiful people of Peru.
Please encourage him to share his experiences with you and your
family. Write to him weekly and express
your love, support and confidence in him.
You will witness miraculous changes in him as he learns to serve and
love those with whom he works.
We know that the Gospel of
Jesus Christ brings joy and peace to all who will follow Him. We are grateful to be a part of this great
work and to serve with the wonderful young Elders and Sisters of our mission.
Sincerely, President and Sister Rasmussen
