Letter from his Mission President:

31 July 2015

Dear Brother and Sister Livingston,

Sister Arrington and I had the great pleasure of welcoming Elder Matthew Grant Livingston to the Chile Concepción Mission.  After we met him at the airport when he arrived, we enjoyed lunch together with the other missionaries.  We held an orientation and testimony meeting and Elder Livingston met his new companion, Elder Adam Wolfe, who will train him to be a missionary. They will be laboring in the District of Linares 1 and located in the Zone of Linares .

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 missionary during his service 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 packages.

It will be our privilege to work closely with Elder Livingston as he serves here in Chile.  We are blessed to have him join us in this mission and know that he will have many life changing experiences as he proclaims the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Thank you for your support and for sharing your son with us.

President and Hermana Arrington
