Dear Brother and Sister Adams,

I'm sure you are wondering why you didn't hear from Elder Adams yesterday. Please imagine the smile on my face and the chuckle in my voice as I tell you why. Apparently he and his companion took part in a preparation day activity that took longer than they had expected and they didn't return in time to send emails. Because it was their choice, they will have to wait until next week to email you. But as a mother, I didn't want you to worry when you didn't receive an email. We have teased them about explaining to their family why they chose Schneeberg over emailing you. :)

So he is fine and will write you next week. Please know also how much we love and appreciate Elder Adams. He and his companion are two of our very finest missionaries, and we have total trust and confidence in them. Elder Adams is one whom we know will always be true and obedient. He leads by example and with great love and has been a great influence in our mission. He is beloved and respected by all who know him. Thank you for helping him to become what he is today. We are so grateful for him.

Sincerely,
Sister Condie
Alpine German-speaking Mission
