Below is an email we received this week from Elder Pennington's Mission President.  He has been called to serve as a District Leader:

12 September 2016

Dear Brother and Sister Pennington,


I am pleased to let you know that Elder Nathan Charles Pennington has received the assignment to serve as a District Leader in the California Riverside Mission. This special assignment will offer your son an opportunity for leadership growth. He will have the sacred responsibility to lead and teach those missionaries who are within his district. The Lord has chosen him for his outstanding performance and commitment.

You can take pride in his missionary accomplishments. I am indeed grateful for the training and guidance you have provided that has helped qualify him for this opportunity.

Thank you for your support, and may the Lord be with you always.

Faithfully yours,

John H. Mullen

President
California Riverside Mission

We are excited for Elder Pennington's new assignment and responsibility as a leader in the mission.  They also gave him ANOTHER new missionary to train in addition to the one he currently has.

When I asked him if he was ready for all this, he responded, "I think so ha ha!  I'm a little excited."
