Dear Brother and Sister Bryan,
I am pleased to report that Sister Dewsnup and I were able to greet your son, Elder Brandon Harley Bryan as he arrived in Puerto Rico. He has been assigned to a companion and they have already begun to work together. Enclosed with this letter is a note from your son telling of his new assignment and relating other news that he may have wanted to convey.
Your son's first companion has been prayerfully selected. As two young missionaries labor together in this great work they bless each others' lives. They both grow as a result of their strengths and their differences. We hope that friendships are kindled that last a lifetime.
As you know, missionary work is intense. It can be both physically demanding and emotionally strenuous. Your son will participate in miracles in the lives of the people that he finds and teaches. He will come to love the work and the people and will grow in ways that he cannot imagine. We love seeing that development take place and recognize that it occurs over the entire length of one's mission.
Missionaries love to receive mail. Please write to your son often. Your letters can be a source of great motivation and encouragement for him. We have also asked him to write home every week. His correspondence with you and others of his immediate family can be via email, if that is your desire. However, his access to computers is limited so he will have to correspond with friends and more distant relatives via regular mail.
We are very glad to have your son in our mission. We recognize the sacrifice that you are making to support him and want you to know how grateful we are that you sent him to us. If you have any questions or concerns, you can call us.
Sincerely,
Ralph L. Dewsnup
Mission President
