We got this picture from the Mission's Facebook Page. He looks soo great. We're looking forward to hearing from him ASAP!
And we got the following letter soon after...
Dear Brother and Sister Barrett,
We are happy to report that your son arrived safely in Bangkok last night. He is in good spirits and is anxious to begin laboring in the Lord's vineyard in Thailand. We are thrilled to have him as a missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission family.
Elder Barrett will join other missionaries at the mission office and will be trained by Sister Hammond and myself, and later oriented by the Office Couple, Elder and Sister Cook, the mission nurse, Sister Williams, and the Assistants to the President. New missionaries will have their first experience street contacting in the area followed by dinner at the Mission Home. Your son will have the opportunity to dedicate and consecrate himself to the most wonderful work.
Your son will receive his first assignment tomorrow morning. Preparation day will be on Monday and he will be able to email you and contact you each week. I am sure he will have much to share regarding his experiences in Thailand, missionary activities, and his first Sunday in his assigned area. Your expressions of encouragement and spiritually uplifting email correspondence will be of great support.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions during your son term of missionary experience.
Sincerely,
President and Sister Hammond
