Welcome to the California, Newport Beach Mission

On Tuesday, July 7th, Elder Milne flew out of the St. George Airport at 8:30 am. Later in the day we received an email from the mission office stating he had arrived. Elder Milne was able to meet his mission president and his lovely wife - President and Sister Reeves.

Here is the email we received:

Dear Parents,

Your wonderful missionary arrived safely to the California Newport Beach Mission today.

After greeting our new missionaries at the airport, we drove to the California Newport Beach Temple for pictures, then to the mission office where we had a very good meal, time to e-mail home, opportunity to pick out bedding and then to various locations for a much-needed rest. We are excited to have them in our mission.

Thank you for entrusting your missionary to us for their great assignment and call from God.

Sincerely,

Weldon J. Reeves, President
California Newport Beach Mission
