Dear Brother & Sister Paulson:
Sister Kezerian and I met Elder Paulson, when he arrived at the Wellington Airport. Despite his travels he looked keen and well. He has met with me in a welcome interview and orientation and now has travelled to his first area in Alexandra (Southland Zone), where his first companion will be Elder Langi, who is a wonderful missionary.
Alexandra (Maori: Areketanara) is a town in the Central Otago district of the Otago region of New Zealand. It is located on the banks of the Clutha River (at the confluence of the Manuherikia River), by the road from Dunedin and Cromwell. At the time of the 2006 census, the permanent population was 4,827, an increase of 423 since 2001. The town was founded during the Central Otago gold rush in the 1860s, and was named after Alexandra of Denmark. Alexandra is the service centre for a significant stone-fruit industry, which is celebrated by a blossom festival in the town each spring. Grape production is another major industry in the Central Otago Wine Region. Alexandra has the world's southernmost vineyard, Black Ridge.
We have found the best way family and friends can support their missionary in the field is by writing weekly motivational letters and remembering them in their prayers.
We are excited that your son will able to join with the other missionaries in the New Zealand Wellington Mission in bringing souls to Christ. What a joyful work.
Kind Regards,
Michael L. Kezerian
Mission President
