Our first letter

We received our first letter from Elder Hendry today. His letter is dated last Wednesday, April 1, the day he entered the MTC. He is thrilled with the missionary life. He met his comp, all 6'4" of him, at his room after taking his luggage up. He is Elder Bickmore and is from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is 21 years of age. However, we don't know if he is going to the same mission as Chantry.

That same day they organized their district and Elders Hendry and Bickmore are the zone leaders for their district. Wow! We are increasing our prayers for Chantry. The Lord is teaching him patience now. He must lead with patience, long suffering, humility, etc. No one arm power swing or WWF body blows.

He wrote he feels our prayers and love for him. He is really enjoying the food and MTC environment. He sends his love to all. We love him too.
