ELDER HOBBS

pictured with the Mission President and his wife

ELDER HOBBS, Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, in the Colorado Denver North Mission. Arrived in Colorado June 7, 2010 after three weeks at the Missionary Training Center in Provo Utah. Will serve approximately 24 months, to be home sometime in May 2012. His mission covers Northern Colorado, Southern Wyoming and Southwest Nebraska and he will be sent to various towns within that area for weeks or months at a time. We love and miss you, Elder!!

Please write to Elder Hobbs at and send packages to:

Elder Anthony Hobbs
Colorado Denver North Mission
11172 Huron Ste 21
Northglenn, CO 80234

You can also email him at anthony.hobbs@myldsmail.net but he has very little computer time, so mailed letters are the best.

He would LOVE to hear from all of you, and would love care packages. He needs FOOD (money is a bit tight in the mission field, they love to get things like cake/cookie mixes, treats, dry goods, canned goods, etc) and of course money. Elder Hobbs has waited to arrive to purchase things like a bike and warm winter clothing such as coats, if you want to help him with such things, he would greatly appreciate it. He is out there working hard everyday and would love your support.

Please keep in mind, his preparation day is Monday. This is the day he has to email, shop, do laundry, play, etc, so please understand if he doesn't respond quickly and if his emails and notes are brief, time is limited for him.

BECOME A FOLLOWER SO YOU CAN GET UPDATES AND SO HE CAN SEE WHO IS 'WATCHING' HIM!

Catch UP!!

Elder Hobbs left home on May 17, 2010. He traveled with his friends Nick & Josiah Tingey to Provo, Utah. He spent that day and the next with his friends, they went to the Salt Lake Temple and did various things before he reported to the Missionary Training Center on Wednesday May19th. His friend Daniel Bond took him there and he said his final good byes to his world as he knew it.

On Monday May 24, we received a letter from Elder Hobbs. It was nice to hear from him, even though he was adjusting to MTC Life and not super excited. He was tired from lack of sleep and "paper thin" blankets. But he assured us of his commitment and his belief that he was doing the right thing.
".... that is why I am here, to help me, the people I serve with, the people I teach and most important is you all and all of my family and friends. Because I know that will bless all of you more that I could by myself during these two years."
