Arrived


Dear family of Sister Nunes,
We are happy to send the good news that your missionary has arrived safely to the Florida Jacksonville Mission. What a great joy and privilege it is to greet each missionary as they come off the plane in Jacksonville. The smiles on their faces showed their excitement and readiness to be here.

Your daughter arrived with 24 other missionaries and they have enjoyed a dinner together at the mission home, have been interviewed by President Barry and were trained by the assistants. We have taken pictures and I have attached a picture of her with President Barry and I. As you can see she is well and happy although a little tired. We also took a group picture which you can view later this week on our blog at:

You are welcome to check this blog often to catch a glimpse of your missionary and find out what is going on in this mission.

Sister Nunes will be able to e-mail home on Preparation Day which is each Monday. She will let you know where she has been assigned to serve. Just a reminder ... when Monday happens to fall on a national holiday, those who use the public libraries will not have access to a computer, therefore, they usually email on Tuesday instead. Also Preparation Day moves to Tuesday during transfer week which is every 6 weeks.

We promise to take good care of your daughter. Her physical, emotional and spiritual welfare is our first concern.

Your missionary is about to make an eternal difference in the lives of others. We hope you will be encouraged and comforted by this quote by President Lorenzo Snow: “There is no mortal man that is so much interested in the success of an elder [sister] when he is preaching the gospel as the Lord that sent him to preach to the people who are the Lord’s children.”

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done to prepare Sister Nunes to faithfully serve a mission. We look forward to getting to know her as we serve our Heavenly Father here in the Florida Jacksonville Mission.

Please accept our love and gratitude for trusting her to us and more importantly to the Lord.

May God Bless You,

President James W. Barry and Sister Marilyn T. Barry


--Sister Nunes was assigned to the  Macclenny Florida  in the Lake City Zone
