Area: Andalien B

Companion: Elder Incil

Sister Arrington, Elder Jade Smoot, & President Arrington

Assigned to serve in Andalien B in the Andalien Zone.  Elder Incil is his trainer.

Dear Brother and Sister Smoot,

Sister Arrington and I had the great pleasure of welcoming your son, Elder Smoot, to the Chile Concepción Mission. After we met him at the airport when he arrived on Tuesday, we enjoyed lunch together with the other new missionaries.  Afterwards, we held an orientation and testimony meeting, and Elder Smoot met his first companion, Elder Incil, who will train him to be a missionary. They will be laboring in the sector of Andalien B and located in the zone of Andalien.           

A mission is a wonderful experience filled with challenge and success that strengthens the testimony and spirituality of each missionary. The greatest support you as a family can give your son during his time as a missionary is that of uplifting letters. Missionaries look forward with great anticipation to each letter from home. In addition to using email, you can send packages and letters to our address. The U.S. Postal Service and the Correos de Chile do a good job of delivering mail and packages.  Please do not send anything Fedex , DHL or any other  private company.
