Subject: Safe Arrival in Romania

Dear Brother and Sister Adams,

President Hill and I were thrilled to meet Sister Adams as she arrived in the Bucuresti airport with her MTC group. She seemed very happy to finally be in the mission field after 6 weeks in the MTC. She was surprisingly awake after her long flights. President Hill and I had an enjoyable interview where we learned more about this great young woman. I even got to talk a little with her about her writing talent. It is evident that she comes from a very loving, supportive family. Thank you very much for sending her to us. We were impressed by her maturity, faith and determination to be a great missionary.

 That night, we had all the incoming missionaries to dinner at the mission home, and then sent them off to spend the night with temporary missionary companions. The next morning, we visited Cismigiu Park, where Elder Russell M. Nelson dedicated the land of Romania for teaching the gospel. I'm attaching a picture of us there. Then, the new missionaries spent the rest of the morning applying for visas with our good office elders, before returning to the mission home, where they worked hard to stay awake through our orientation meeting. Sister Adams is now with her initial companion, Sister Heim, in Timisoara. Sister Heim is a fun missionary who will be training for the first time. Timisoara is a beautiful and historic city, and a wonderful senior couple who live there will be available to help Sister Adams if she needs it.

Thanks again for sending us such a wonderful young sister missionary. We could instantly tell she will be a very good, faithful, hard-working missionary.

With much appreciation,

Sister Hill
