Greeting from the South Africa MTC

Elder North pulling a face in this picture.

Your missionary is going to be leaving the MTC at 5:45am tomorrow.  Tonight, President Collins and I will meet with them to teach them for the last time.  They will rise early in the morning, eat breakfast, load their luggage, and meet together for our send-off devotional.  They all leave together for the airport.  I can't believe it is time for them to move on to their missions.  It always goes by too quickly for me.  This group was extra sweet, obedient, focused, and diligent in their learning.  I love them and I'm going to miss them for sure.  It is fun though to see how anxious and enthusiastic they are about getting to their missions and getting to work.  They are ready to become the consecrated missionaries the Lord wants and needs.

With love,
Sister Collins

So excited to get this from Sister Collins.  She has done a wonderful job keeping the parents informed while our missionaries have been at the Johannesburg MTC.  I appreciate her very much.  If we are lucky we will get to hear from Elder North's mission president this week letting us know he arrived in Durban and where he will be serving and with who.  We might not hear from him until his P-day on Monday the 7th however.  

Elder North would love to hear from you and you are welcome to send him a quick greeting through e-mail but remember because of his short time to reply he will not have time to reply to everyone personally.  His e-mail is mikel.north@myldsmail.net. 

He would love regular mail if you would like to send him some.  It costs $1.20 to send a letter to South Africa.  This can be done with multiple stamps or an international stamp.  His address is.
