Email from Hermana Peterson, Senior Missionary in Costa Rica

Hi Shauna,

Yesterday, we welcomed about 10-11 new missionaries. Only 1 was North American. Every time we get new misionaros in, the nurse or nurses talk to the newbies about how to stay healthy & a few other health related instructions. The young Mission nurse usually talks to the Latinos & I talk to the Gringos, but this time there was only 1 Gringo, so we combined everyone. I just wanted you to know that Hna. Markle did a great job talking to them totally in Español. She got a little help a time or 2 from her companion, but I think she did a great job for only being here a month!!

Also, this foto tickled me & the reason why is that your sweet daughter is being 100% obedient. She's definitely an arm's length away from Elder VanderMeyden : )

I can tell already that I'm going to thoroughly enjoy working with her. From 1 Mom to the next, I wanted you to know!!

Love, Senior Hna.Petersen
