This is a nice letter we received from the Mission President's wife, Sister Jones:
Dear Missionary families,
Your wonderful sons and daughters have arrived safely in San Antonio, Texas! Their plane arrived on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. President Jones and I and our assistants were there to greet them as they came down the escalator. They were enthusiastic and happy to be here! We loaded the mission vans and returned to the mission home for lunch and an orientation. At around 5pm they headed to the Alamo! After learning a little about the history, they were divided into companionships and went out, Book of Mormon in hand, to make their first contacts as Texas missionaries.
Later, we returned to the mission home for dinner and a slide show. Tomorrow we will meet in the morning for more orientation and then your son or daughter will find out where they will be serving and who their companion will be. We have excellent trainers for each of your sons and daughters and we know they are where they are supposed to be. We will be sending a letter to you soon with a picture and more details and their address. P-day is on Monday so you should expect an email from your missionary. If you have mail or packages to send, for now, we recommend you send them to the mission office at the following address. If it is a Christmas package, please mark it with a bold "C' in the bottom left corner.

If you have not already sent a Christmas letter, please do so as soon as possible. You can e-mail it to me and I will print it out or you still might have time to mail it. We will have the missionaries read their letter at our Christmas Zone meeting on Dec. 21st. If you have any questions, please contact me at this e-mail.
Thank you for sending these well prepared, extraordinary young men and women to serve with us! We'll take good care of them.
Love,
Sister Suzanne Jones
