First photos from Canada

Letter arrived to the parents from the Mission President!

Dear Sister Gardner,
Sister Cassandra Jo Gardner has arrived!  We are so pleased to welcome her into the Canada Montreal Mission.  We met her and spent time getting to know her at the mission home before she was assigned.  Sister Gardner's first assignment is in the Ottawa Stake and her first companion is Sister Hanann Morris, whom we have prayerfully selected to be Sister Gardner's trainer.

We want to thank you for entrusting Sister Gardner to us.  It is a sacred privilege to share experiences and testimony with those we meet.  We know Sister Gardner will work hard both mentally and physically, build relationships of trust with companions, members, and investigators, and experience God in her life.  Through such service, she will mature in remarkable ways.

We will stay close to Sister Gardner throughout her mission through personal interviews and other meetings.  If you have any concerns at any time during the mission, please do not hesitate to contact us by letter, phone or e-mail.

May you share in and feel the blessing of Sister Gardner's service.

Sincerely,
President Victor P. Patrick & Sister Elizabeth F. Patrick

What a big group of missionaries to arrive at one time!

President Patrick took the missionaries to the Mount Royal which overlooks the city of Montreal. They read section 4 from the D&C all about missionary work on how the field is ready to harvest while gazing at the city before us. 

Afterwards they gathered together in the mission office and were assigned trainers and first areas!
