First Assignment!

We received a letter and pictures from the mission office December 11.  We are so happy to know where she is!!

Syster May with her companion, Syster Crawford, pointing to their area, Jakobsberg.

Part of the letter from President Beckstrand said:

We met your daughter Sister May, this past week as she arrived in Stockholm, Sweden.  It has been a delight to become acquainted with her.  

Upon arrival, the large group was taken by bus into the city of Stockholm for immigration paperwork.  We then went on a bus tour and had a glimpse of Stockholm and visited some interesting places near the city of Stockholm.  The Taby Chapel was the next stop with an orientation to the Sweden Stockholm Mission policies and procedures.  After orientation, we served dinner at the Church to a very tired group of excited missionaries.  I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time in an interview with your missionary.  We concluded the day's activities with the Elder Missionaries spending the night in a hotel and the Sister Missionaries were taken to the Mission Home for the night.

The next morning we began the day promptly at 6:30 a.m. with breakfast at the Hotel and the Mission Home.  We departed on the bus for the Vasterhaninge Chapel, which is near the Sweden Temple.  there the Assistants, Sister Beckstrand and I provided training.  In the second meeting of the morning, she met her new companion and trainer, Sister Crawford.  They will serve together in the Jakobsberg I Area of the Sweden Stockholm Mission.  I would like you to know I have experienced some of my most tangible moments of revelation in the assigning of companionships.  I know your daughter and Sister Crawford will learn much from each other, and together they will be edified as they labour valiantly with full purpose of heart and obedience, in the service of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
