September 7, 2013 Oregon or BUST!

Sister Baker has ARRIVED!!!  Her mission president called the Baker home in North Carolina and chatted with us for a bit to let us know Katie was safely there and that she was sitting in their living room getting to know her two companions.  It was such a nice surprise to hear from President Samuelian.  The conversation was so nice and gave us peace of mind to know where Katie would be serving and with whom.  He told us about how they took Katie to the Portland Oregon Temple to take pictures and then to the mission home.   This missionary mom is so impressed with them.  They are newly called as this is a new mission for the church.  President and Sister Samuelian will be serving for three years as the mission president.  Love them already!



Brother & Sister Baker,

We are thrilled to have your daughter here with us in the newly formed Oregon Salem Mission! She should be sending you an email on Monday which is her Preparation day.

Kind Regards,
President & Sister Samuelian
