November 12, 2008. I'm in India!

Elder Jeppesen arrived safe and sound in Bangalore early this morning. We picked up he and his companions and brought them into Bangalore. They got to bed about 4:00 AM. We then had them come over to the Mission Home where Sister Nichols fed them a great breakfast. We then gave all the elders an orientation. Then we took this photo of Sister Nichols and I and your son. This afternoon we brought them all into the Mission Office and covered a number of items with each elder. I then had a wonderful interview with your son.  I will meet with him again tomorrow morning and give him his first assignment. He will be assigned to the Coimbatore Branch, in Coimbatore, India which is south of Bangalore about 200 miles.  Coimbatore is where the church started in India.  It has a beautiful modern chapel.  His companion will be Elder Banavath a district leader and an outstanding young man that I trust very much. Your son will be in good hands.
Elder Jeppesen seems to be doing well and adjusting though he is still suffering some from lack of sleep and jet lag. Thank you for sending us your wonderful son.
Pres. and Sister Nichols
