Safe Arrival

Here is an email that Clay's Mission President's wife sent to notify us of Clay's safe arrival:


Dear Family Jessup,
I hope you enjoy the photo. We are sorry that we are in it to ruin it. It was too far for his trainer to come. We sent him up with some Zone leaders the next day. He will enjoy Feliciano and Elder Rowley. Happy holidays
Love Hermana Hutchison
