His first area is Etwatwa (pronounced eh-twah-twah) and his first companion/trainer is Elder Eki. Elder Schnepf seems to be more than ecstatic about serving the Lord in the Johannesburg, South Africa Mission. Here is a little of what his mission president, President Dunn, sent us yesterday:
I am happy to report that your son, Elder Schnepf has officially arrived in our mission!We are so delighted to have him safely here with us in Johannesburg. He seems happy, looks great and is excited for his service as a full-time missionary. Thank you so much for your part in helping him prepare for this sacred duty. Attached please find a couple of photos from our meeting earlier today.This morning, after we greeted your son at the MTC, he was given an orientation that began with a panel discussion moderated by missionaries who are just completing their service here. It was a very candid, thorough and practical introduction to the realities of missionary life in South Africa...
I also had the wonderful opportunity to interview your son and get to know him as he begins his mission. Again, he appears ready and eager for service.Based on my impressions about your son he has been assigned Elder Eki to be his trainer and first companion, and his first area is Etwatwa. Please look for an email from your son this coming Monday which is his preparation day, where he will no doubt be sharing his impressions of what is usually always a very hectic but exhilarating week.Again, on behalf of my wife and our entire mission we are so thrilled to have Elder Schnepf in the South Africa Johannesburg Mission, and are committed to doing all we can to make his mission the incredible, life-changing experience it should be.
There you have it! Elder Schnepf is very excited to go and do the Lord's work!! Here are some pictures that we received of him this week:
