Dear Brother and Sister Torgersen,
Sister Humphrey and I had the great pleasure of welcoming your son, Elder Torgersen, to the Chile Concepción Mission. After we met him at the airport when he arrived on Tuesday, we enjoyed lunch together with the other new missionaries. Afterwards, we held an orientation and testimony meeting, and Elder Torgersen met his first companion, Elder Teske, who will train him to be a missionary. They will be laboring in the sector of Linares 1A and located in the zone of Parral-Linares.
A mission is a wonderful experience filled with challenge and success that strengthens the testimony and spirituality of each missionary. The greatest support you as a family can give your son during his time as a missionary is that of uplifting letters. Missionaries look forward with great anticipation to each letter from home. In addition to using email, you can send packages and letters to our address. The U.S. Postal Service and the Correos de Chile do a good job of delivering mail and packages.

Elder Joshua Torgersen
We encourage each of our missionaries to write to their parents each week. Please let me know if a reminder to him is needed. You may contact us at 2015528@ldschurch.org.
We invite you to look at our mission blog. www.chileconcepcionmission.
It will be our privilege to work closely with Elder Torgersen as he serves here in Chile. We are blessed to have him join us in this mission and know that he will have many life changing experiences as he proclaims the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for your support and for sharing your son with us.
Attached are photos and a map.
Sincerely,
Neall Weston Humphrey
Mission President
