Arrival letter from Adam's Mission President Babin - Dec. 10, 2014

Sister Babin, Elder Adam Edwards, President Babin. They look so nice! Adam just had a very long flight so he looks tired, but also happy. Adam looks like he is in good hands. 

To the Family of Elder Edwards

Sister Babin and I were delighted to welcome your son , Elder Adam Grant Edwards , into the France Paris Mission on 09 Dec 2014. He and his MTC companions were enthusiastic and all arrived in good health.  He spent his first day eating some good food, visiting with me, contacting non-members in the heart of Paris, and sharing testimonies.  We enjoyed his spirit.

The next morning, after a mission orientation, Elder Edwards left for his first assignment to work in the Charleroi 2 Area with Elder Amico, who will be his trainer.  Their apartment address is:

1A n°22 Rue de la Marine

6040

Jumet

(Note from Becky: We don't know if the address is complete. Mike searched it on Google Maps and found the address in Belgium, which we're not sure is accurate, but we'll find out for sure on Adam's P-day.)

Any packages or letters you would like to send will reach your missionary at this address.

We feel very privileged to work with your  son .  We also realize the responsibility we share with you to help him continue to grow spiritually as he faithfully performs his duties.  May the Lord inspire us all to sustain him in this challenging and exciting assignment.  We hope you will join Sister Babin and me in praying each day for your son , his companion, investigators, and all of us serving in the France Paris Mission.

A positive, supportive letter from home every week does wonders to sustain a missionary’s morale.  Proverbs 25:25 states:  As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. If you have any questions, or if we can assist you in any way, please contact us at our office (001-331-3480-0483) or home (001-331-3976-8402).

Sincerely,

Dear Families of our Missionaries,

I am pleased to be able to send you this little E-mail to announce to you the creation of the Facebook of the Paris France Mission Babin.

We hope to be able to place photos of the events that take place here in the mission every 15 days so that we might share with you the Spirit that animates our mission.  Your comments are welcome, but we hope you understand we will not be able to respond to each one individually because of time.

We are very grateful for the support that you give through your prayers and the E-mails for your children. It is very precious.

Some amazing things are happening in this mission thanks to the faith, the perseverance and the desire of our missionaries to better fulfill the reason why they are here on mission. They are continually putting amazing efforts into raising the bar and to see the fruits of their labors.

We are very grateful for these chosen youth who have been place in our care and we assure you that we are doing all that we can to make sure they are taken care of. We love and care for them dearly.

We invite you to join our group, so that you might be able to participate in the great moments unfolding in each photo. Here is the name : “France Paris Mission Babin”

Sincerely,

Sister Babin
