Letter from Sister Shurtz's Mission President

Michelle's mom read this letter to me over the phone, so here is a summary of a letter from her mission president Brother and Sister Elsworth
"What a joy it was to welcome Sister Shurtz to the Mesa Arizona mission.  We feel honored to have her as a member our great force. Thank you for preparing your child and we will do all we can to take care of her and help her in this transition from the MTC to the mission field.  Letters from home will help her do better in this transition, remember to send her messages that will show her your love and spiritually uplift her. She is surrounded by those who love her.  The Arizona mission is a wonderful place to serve a mission we are among strong members and have two temples and a visitors center. May the lord bless you and your family while your missionary is serving the Lord.  
We highly recommend all letters and packages be sent to the mission office, they will be sent the day after we receive it at the mission home.  Please use the whole name Michelle Lillie Shurtz.  Send packages through US mail because they can be forwarded.  FedEx and UPS take longer to get to the missionary because someone from the mission home has to take it to them.  Please allow plenty of time for special occasions such as holidays and birthdays,  it takes an extra 2 or 3  days to get from the mission home to the missionary.  Each companion receive their own copy of the Ensign.  Please package goodies nice and tight because the critters like them too."
