Letter from the Mission President

This letter and photo were sent from President and Sister Sabey upon Morgan's arrival in his first area.

We hope you will enjoy this picture of your missionary arriving from the MTC. We are so pleased to have Elder Thacker in the Ghana Cape Coast Mission. We appreciate your efforts in preparing him for this mission.

His first assignment will be with Elder Akpapunam in the Swedru District, Swedru Zone. We are grateful for his willingness to dedicate this time to the Lord and know he will come to love his service here. We have taught him that he is literally the representative of our Savior to the people in his area. We have promised him that, as he strives to do what the Savior would do each day, he will be guided by the Spirit and will steadily become more like the Master whom he is serving.

Missionaries love to hear from those at home. Letters are a valuable aid in helping them to be happy and do their best. Therefore, we encourage you to write often. You may also send a letter through the church mail pouch or letters and packages through the postal service or private carrier (abiding by the instructions on the enclosed sheet). Only the postage to Salt Lake City is required for pouch mail.

Thank you for sharing your son with us. We consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to serve with him and will delight to see him progress spiritually as he learns to love and serve our Heavenly Father’s children here in Ghana.

Sincerely,

President Mel Sabey and Sister Sandy Sabey
