He made it!!

Dear Sister Ellis,

We want you to know that we picked up Elder Ellis late last night at the Samara Airport. He has arrived in our Russia Samara Mission and we are so happy he has come to serve here with us. President Sartori and I are so impressed with this young man. President Sartori interviewed him, and I and others oriented him with some information about Russia.

We believe he is excited to be here and anxious to go right to work. [Sometimes the jet lag has to be dealt with.] Thank you for raising and sharing such a nice young man with us. We are impressed with his common sense, his gentleness, and his humbleness. We feel a great desire from him to serve and fulfill his dream of serving a mission for our Savior.

Attached you will find photos.

Sincerely,
President and Sister Sartori
President Russia Samara Mission
