Elder Joseph Herrin entered the mission field March 18, 2014. His parents took him straight to the Idaho Twin Falls Mission where they all met with President and Sister Carter. He was welcomed with open and loving arms. We were so pretty certain that we would not know anything about where Elder Herrin was or what his first week would be like when, SURPRISE! We got an unexpected email - thank you President Carter for letting him fill us in on this exciting first week! From Elder Herrin: Hello Family I have been transfered to jerome to whitewash a new ward. I will normally be sending emails on monday 1-3. So the first day we spent 6 hours training and doing role playing with members from the nearby ward. It was nice because I didn't get to go to the mtc and experience those things. Nothing much has happened yet except at jerome most of the people are lds or interessted in the church. My new address is 511 2nd ave. east Jerome 83338. I forgot my book bag so if you could send that to me that would be nice. also I don't have a camera, where would be a good place to get one. my new companion's name is Elder Sheridan, he ahs been out for 5 month's and is waiting for a visa to go to brazil. I hope everything is going good and make sure to tell sam to write me. oh and if you could tell Nathaniel and the people at Jimmy Johns my email, and mailing address that would be nice. I love you guys so much!
