SISTER HODGE'S EMAIL

We received this email this morning at 12:15AM. 

Hello Brother and Sister Armstrong,

This is Sister Hodges from the India New Delhi Mission. President Hodges and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your son, Elder Armstrong, to one of the most wonderful missions in the world.  He will love his mission to India just as we do!  We are excited to pick him up at the airport in about fifteen hours and we will bring him to the mission home for a couple of hours of rest, if he desires.

Thank you for preparing such a fine son to serve the Lord. His missionary experiences will bless him the rest of his life.  He is arriving at a fruitful time in this country and the work is accelerating rapidly. Many doors have opened and are opening to the church.

As you know, President Hodges and I are from Idaho Falls, and we were raised in Preston.  We like Elder Armstrong’s first name!  We have driven through and stopped in Arimo many, many times throughout our lifetime. We feel blessed to serve with such a fine missionaries as Elder Armstrong.  Please know that we love him already and we look forward to our service together for the next two years.

Love,

Sister Hodges (and President Hodges)
