Hey!!!
I don't have much time because we are actually at the mission office and will be going to meet our trainees really soon. We are sooooooooooooo excited!!!
Yes, Hna Ghan and I are staying together and training together in our area.
I cannot believe how much trust President Bassett has in us.
I will do my best to write a letter later. But this is going to be one of the busiest p-days yet.
LOVE YOU!!!

A letter received from Andrea’s President

Dear Brother and Sister Stephenson,
We wanted you to know that your daughter has been called to be a trainer to one of our new missionaries. The calling of a trainer is the most important leadership position in the mission and one that is extended only to our trusted and effective missionaries. The role of a trainer has more influence on the future success of a missionary than any other single factor, including their experience at the Missionary Training Center. For this reason your daughter has been selected to play a key part in laying a firm foundation for this new missionary.
Sister Stephenson has been called to this position of trust and responsibility because of her outstanding example of faith, diligence, obedience, and her ability to teach the gospel. We are grateful for Sister Stephenson’s service in the Arizona Mesa Mission and we thank you for raising such a fine missionary.
Your encouragement and support is important, and we urge you to continue sending letters that uplift and inspire your missionary in this important work.
Thank you again for sharing your daughter with us.
Faithfully yours,
W. Mark Bassett
Mission President
