Dear Brother and Sister Hogg,
We
are grateful to have your son, Elder Brett Hogg, serving with us
in the Texas Dallas Mission. He arrived safely and I have enjoyed
interviewing
him. He has been assigned to serve in Grand Prairie, Texas, and his
companion is Elder H from Spokane, Washington. Their address
is: [ASK SUE]. We have given
him a strong trainer to help him get off to a
good start. He seems happy and anxious to do the work of the Lord. We
will meet with Him regularly in Zone Conferences and personal
interviews.
Our
mission covers the northeast part of the State of Texas. It takes in a
little portion of Oklahoma and goes east to the Louisiana border.
Nearly
three fourths of our missionaries are in the “Metroplex” of Dallas
serving a population of almost four million people. The life of a
missionary is not always easy, but it will be a growing experience for
him, one that will set him on a firm foundation and
help him gain habits that will serve him well for life.
Sister
Taylor and I are committed to do all that we can to assure a happy and
successful mission for your son. We are confident that you share that
same commitment. It is important to write letters weekly that are
positive and uplifting, with support, encouragement and praise for the
work he is doing in serving the Lord. All missionaries face some
challenges. We will inform you of significant concerns
or illness as we determine such information would be helpful to you and
him. Missionaries are asked not to call parents or friends as it
distracts their attention from their work. We also request that parents
and friends
not call missionaries.
We
extend our love to you and thank you for sending your son into the
mission field. Please feel free to write or call us if you wish. Sister
Taylor
manages a Facebook page and uploads many pictures for all to enjoy.
Please visit “The Texas, Dallas Mission-President and Sister Taylor”
Facebook page. We unite our prayers with yours for the well-being,
success, and happiness of your son as he serves the Lord in this great
work.
Sincerely,
Brian K. Taylor, President
Texas Dallas Mission

| The area between Dallas and Forth Worth is called the Mid-Cities (I guess since they aren't outside of the metro area, they aren't suburbs?) |

| The 5 new missionaries stand up in the meeting. The Texas mom that was there posted it on the Texas Dallas Missionary Mom page :) |
