We were thrilled to see pictures of Mason posted on the mission facebook page the day after he arrived in Paris. We were able to see his assignment and all the new missionaries that arrived with him. Below is the email we got from President Babin the following day.


To the Family of Elder Wells

Sister Babin and I were delighted to welcome your son , Elder Mason Scott Wells , into the France Paris Mission on 30 Sep 2014. He and his MTC companions were enthusiastic and all arrived in good health. He spent his first day eating some good food, visiting with me, contacting non-members in the heart of Paris, and sharing testimonies. We enjoyed his spirit.

The next morning, after a mission orientation, Elder Wells left for his first assignment to work in the Rouen E0 Area with Elder Barber, who will be his trainer.

We feel very privileged to work with your son . We also realize the responsibility we share with you to help him continue to grow spiritually as he faithfully performs his duties. May the Lord inspire us all to sustain him in this challenging and exciting assignment. We hope you will join Sister Babin and me in praying each day for your son , his companion, investigators, and all of us serving in the France Paris Mission.

A positive, supportive letter from home every week does wonders to sustain a missionary’s morale. Proverbs 25:25 states: As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. If you have any questions, or if we can assist you in any way, please contact us at our office (001-331-3480-0483) or home (001-331-3976-8402).

Sincerely,

Frédéric Jean Babin

President, France Paris Mission
