Dear Ashworth Family
We are pleased to inform you your son, Elder Tyler  Ashworth, has arrived safely in the Argentina Neuquén mission.  We were excited to meet him on as he arrived at the Airport here in Neuquén.  Enclosed please find a picture that was taken during the mission orientation he was given on Wednesday. 

Thank you for your willingness to share your son with us as a missionary and representative of the Savior, Jesus Christ.  We know it is a sacrifice for you, but also know the Lord will bless you richly while Elder Ashworth  is here in the mission field.  We encourage you to write him every week with positive, encouraging news and comments.  You should also receive a message from him every week.  Missionaries have a limited amount of time on preparation day. They are permitted to send and receive letters by email, thus communicating with their parents, family members and friends. You can also send letters and packages. Instructions for mailing letters and packages to your missionary are included on the attached information sheet.

For your information, missionaries are permitted to call their family twice yearly for 30 to 40 minutes.  These calls take place on Christmas Day and one other time (usually mother’s day).  They should not call at any other time or for any other reason without permission of the mission president.

We were immediately impressed with the desire of Elder Ashworth  to become involved in missionary work.  On Thursday evening, he left for his first assignment.  We are confident Elder Ashworth  will be a faithful, effective missionary as he applies what he learned in the Missionary Training Center.

May the blessings of the Lord be with you and your family as your son serves faithfully in this most sacred calling.  Please feel free to communicate with us regarding any questions or concerns you may have.

With sincere best wishes,
 President Paul R Lovell
