{Elder Gish’s mom here: We received this lovely message, complete with pictures, from President and Sister Rudd who are leading the Hamilton, NZ mission. With Sister’s Rudd’s permission the following is posted below.}
Kia ora! Greetings from the New Zealand Hamilton Mission.
Elder Gish arrived safely to Hamilton, and is already labouring in his new area. His companion is Elder Harmon. They will be serving in the Hamilton Zone, right here in Hamilton. I have enclosed a picture of them, one of the entire group of missionaries that arrived the same day, as well as a picture with us. We love Elder Gish already!
We look forward to serving with Elder Gish in this wonderful work as the missionary wave floods this great country of New Zealand! We need him and are excited to serve together! His testimony will grow as he helps others receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end.
Arohanui,
President and Sister Rudd
