Dear Brother and Sister
Fawcett,
We want you to know that your son, Elder Dallin
Jemison Fawcett, arrived in the Samoa Apia Mission safely and in good
spirits. We have enjoyed observing his
enthusiasm and great desire to do the Lord’s work. We deeply appreciate his willingness to come
to serve our Heavenly Father and…“cause His church to be established” among the
people of Samoa. (D&C 28:8)
Weekly contact through correspondence is a great
source of strength to both missionary and family. We express our hope that it will continue
throughout his mission. We keep in
contact with all missionaries through island conferences. We conduct quarterly interviews as well as
personal interviews as needed.
We thank you for supporting your son in the
choice he has made to serve our Heavenly Father. May you find joy and happiness through his
service.
Sincerely,
President Johnny L. Leota
Samoa Apia Mission  |

Talofa Family!
Dad, that sounds like a crazy visit to Peru. But by to sounds of it you blessed peoples lives, so i would say that it was worth it and that you did a great job. Its a good thing you speak Spanish. hahahha And yes, sometime the best and only thing that we can do is pray, round up your shoulders and pres forward. that is something that I have learned in the MTC, times get hard and sometimes you want to just stop and go home. when that happens I stop and think to my self, Psalms 23. this scripture means a lot more to me know.
Time truly does fly when you are busy. You guys are ward now?? I was wondering when that would happen. That's great. and both Mom and Dad got super awesome callings. how many times has Dad been in the young mens now? I don't think its a coincidence, I know that dad has has a great influence on the young men. I learned a lot from him. he does a lot to prepare you for the future and for a mission. Taft, pay attention to him, he knows what he is talking about. I think my Halloween was even more low key than yours. I got a caramel apple for lunch and that's about it. :) by the way I love your pumpkin, it looks great. Mom i'm glad to hear that you are doing your missionary work. yeah I remember him. and yeah you should probably get his some new books.
I got my travel plans this week, and we leave on Monday at 11:30 we fly from Saltlake to San Francisco and from San Francisco to New Zealand and from New Zealand to Samoa. Its really interesting, we leave on the 11th and we get there on the 13th we completely skip the 12th. I thought that was funny. I am so super excited. our teachers brought in some pictures of Samoa, it is so beautiful. although the have centipedes that are about eight inches long... and the are everywhere... and the bite... and the are poisonous... sounds like fun!!!! This is going to be my last email. so i hope you enjoy it. haha I think I have everything that I need. our teachers say it can take anywhere between two to five weeks for mail to get to Samoa or Back. But most often three weeks. so its going to be a little differant every time. And yes Mom I will write every week.
