Dear Brother and Sister Bullock,
On Wednesday afternoon 24 Aug 2016, my wife, Mary Faith, and I greeted Elder Tayson Wayne Bullock at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport and welcomed him to this great mission. He was happy and excited to begin his mission. Thank you for all of your efforts to prepare him for the adventure that lies ahead. We understand what a great sacrifice you are making to support your son.
We drove from the airport to the mission home and took pictures of our new missionaries. We then had lunch and provided a mission orientation. I also interviewed each missionary.
At about 4:15 pm, Sister Forbes and I introduced them to their trainers, who greeted them with big smiles and bear hugs. We sent them off to their assigned areas. Elder Bullock, has an outstanding trainer, whom I carefully and prayerfully selected. In three weeks, we will bring them back to Bloomington for a day of training in finding, teaching, and goal setting and planning.
Your son joins a remarkable corps of accomplished and dedicated missionaries. There is a great tradition of obedience and accomplishment in this mission. He will serve with missionaries who desire to build the kingdom and who are willing to sacrifice their all for the cause. We serve in a beautiful part of the Lord's vineyard where mighty rivers and beautiful lakes are plentiful. We are privileged to serve among faithful saints.
Please encourage your son to obey all mission rules. He will become stronger, more mature, and more self-disciplined as he faithfully follows the rules. His first area of service is the New Prague Area, of the Lakeville South Zone; his companion is Elder Jacob Raymond Moore.
Regards,
Stephen W. Forbes Mission President

Elder Tayson Bullock arrived to the Minnesota Minneapolis Mission today safe and sound. Here is a real brief email:
Hey Mom I haven't gotten my iPad set up so I'm gonna send a quick
email on my companions iPad, Elder Moore. The flight was good and it
is way cool here. I am in New Prague which is south of Minneapolis. I
