Dear Elder McMullin:
You are hereby assigned to serve as a District Leader. Your area will be the Jamestown District. The purpose of this letter is both to offer congratulations and to identify your responsibilities.
Your major responsibility is to be an example. Other missionaries will observe your actions and from that example, pattern their own behavior. You will interview candidates for baptism who have been taught by missionaries within your district. Zone Leaders or another District Leader will interview those whom you teach. I suggest you review pages 205 through 208 in P.M.G. for direction in relation to conducting interviews.
Other duties of the District Leaders are:
1.) Set an example for missionaries through study of the scriptures and the gospel, obedience, hard work, proselyting skills, and other aspects of missionary work.
2.) Carry a full proselyting load and maintain a model area as you pursue your purpose of a missionary.
3.) Supervise, teach, and inspire other missionaries, strengthen their faith, and help them receive the blessing of the Holy Ghost.
4.) Plan and conduct regular District meetings (see P.M.G. pg. IX). Note: With permission of Zone Leaders, face-to-face meetings can be replaced by telephone conferences.
5.) Conduct exchanges with missionaries in your District.
6.) Look after the well-being of missionaries.
7.) Demonstrate effective planning, including vehicle use.
8.) Work in harmony with Zone Leaders. Report concerns to Zone Leaders or the Mission President.
9.) In your weekly letter to the President, report on exchanges and update the status of the companionships and areas!
Elder McMullin, thank you very much for your willingness in accepting this responsibility. As you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Scott L. Howell
Mission President

P.S. – President Howell is the one who issued your call to serve as a district leader.
I apologize for getting this email out so late. You will now be serving under the direction of President Camp.
