Today Koby left the MTC for New York.  The following are the letters we received over the next two days and some pictures.  Can't wait to see how his first week goes in New York.

Dear family of Elder Imlay,

We just want to send you a quick note to let you know that your missionary arrived safely in New York City today.  President and Sister Reynolds met them at the airport, will feed and visit with them, and then will send them all to bed to get some rest. Within a few days you will receive a letter from President and Sister Reynolds with a picture of your missionary.  Tomorrow they will receive instruction and will meet their new companions who have been chosen by inspiration to train them.

Thank you for entrusting your missionary to us in the New York New York South mission.  We so appreciate all you have done to get these missionaries to this point in their lives!

Dear family of Elder Imlay,

Sister Reynolds and I enjoyed meeting your son upon his arrival in the mission field. I have enclosed a picture of him with Sister Reynolds and me. He is a fine young Elder and it is our desire to do all that is within our power to care for him and help him become the finest missionary he can be.

The first few months in the mission field are often critical to the success of a missionary. For that reason, we encourage you to make your weekly letter and emails one that will lift and strengthen your son to assist in making this transition.

As a parent, we know that you are interested in your son's mission and have questions concerning policy and guidelines. Please read the attached document and hopefully it will resolve some of your questions and concerns. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Sister Reynolds and I are genuinely excited to have your son serve with us here in New York. We love our missionaries and promise you that we will love and take care of your son.

Kind personal regards,

Gary R. Reynolds
Mission President
