Dear Brother and Sister Garver, 

What a pleasure it was to welcome Elder Tyler James Garver into the Utah Salt Lake City South Mission.  His first day with us included breakfast and orientation at the mission office, a training session, lunch, more training, dinner and of course, meeting his first companion. I am impressed by his desire to serve.  He is well and in high spirits as he anticipates the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.  Please be assured that we will be watching over him while he is here.  I'm attaching photographs taken as we welcomed him at the mission office. 

After prayerful consideration, an excellent missionary, Elder Flinders, has been assigned as his trainer and first companion.  I am attaching our Family Guidelines which we urge you to follow.  We have learned from experience the importance of family and friends following these guidelines.  Please share the guidelines with those who may write to him.  Your compliance of these guidelines can reinforce your missionary's willingness to follow the guidelines in the Missionary Handbook. 

Please email your son each week and send any hard-copy letters and packages to the mission, addressed to your son at the address listed above.  

Thank you for raising such an outstanding young person, worthy and willing to serve the Lord full time in our mission.  I know you will be blessed for the sacrifices that make his service possible.  May the Lord's choicest blessings be yours. 

Sincerely, 

President Chambers
