Arrived in Ukraine, safe and sound!

Week-9

  

Hello Julie,

Jaxon arrived safe and sound this afternoon. He's already had some amazing experiences. He told me he had some 'things' for me. I will be getting them tomorrow when they were more accessible. Thank-you so much for sending them.

I don't have your husbands email. If he would like to be included on all correspondence please send me his email address.

Much thanks,

Karen

Dear Jorgensen-Toone Family,

We are thrilled to welcome your son to the Ukraine Dnepropetrovsk Mission! He arrived safely today and we are so happy to have him join us here in the mission field. It is very apparent to us that Elder Jorgensen has prepared very well for this calling in the Lord's service. Your son has come to the mission field with such enthusiasm and love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His upbringing and additional training in the MTC have provided him with many wonderful tools to help him be an effective missionary. Now he joins us ready and willing to exercise his faith, testify of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and love the people of Ukraine. Elder Jorgensen has been assigned a wonderful companion, Elder Bunker, who has been called by revelation to assist and guide your son as he begins his service here. They will be serving together in the Dnepropetrovsk, ‘Left Bank’ area.

We encourage all missionaries to write or e-mail home weekly. We trust you will write Elder Jorgensen on a weekly basis also. Please send positive messages that will keep him focused on his work. We hope you will share faith promoting experiences and convey your love for each other and describe the blessings you are receiving. Missionaries like to know that your testimonies are growing and that you are strengthening your faith in Jesus Christ. In order to be successful as a missionary, great focus on the work is required. The more he can "lose himself" in the work, the better prepared he will be to teach and testify.

Thank you for raising up a wonderful son of God who now goes forth to work in this beautiful portion of the Lord's vineyard. We love Elder Jorgensen and his love for life and look forward to many wonderful experiences together. He was out placing several copies of the Book of Mormon just hours after he arrived! His Russian skills are very impressive!

 If you have any concerns during the time of your son's service here, please contact the mission president directly at 

May you feel the blessings of your son’s efforts here in Ukraine.

With kind regards,

President and Sister Sullivan
