Dear Brother and Sister Hatch,
Your missionary, Elder Hatch, arrived safely in the Fiji Suva Mission. He is assigned to serve in the Levuka-FB area with Elder Rakatia as his trainer.
Elder Hatch will be a fine missionary! He is excited to be serving, and we are happy to have him. We know your family will be blessed by his service here in our mission. Thank you for the role you have played in his preparation.
We know you will support him with your letters and in turn, we have asked him to write to you each week. For your information, missionaries are able to e-mail their immediate family once a week on preparation day. However, please be aware that from time to time our missionaries are assigned to the more remote areas of the mission where e-mail is not available. Sometimes the regular mail is a little slow, but be assured that we will do our best to keep the communications channels open. A phone call home is permitted on Mother's Day and Christmas Day.
We look forward to a wonderful association with your fine missionary.
With warm regards,
John R. Higgins, President
Fiji Suva Mission

Thanks for sharing all of this- it's always great to read missionary letters- and Reed is very wise to figure out so early that it is for the people.
