Elder and Sister Noorlander
1973-1974
Harold B. Lee was the eleventh president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in that capacity from July 1972 until his death in December 1973.
He was a master teacher, who counseled members of the Church to turn to the Lord and the scriptures for answers to gospel questions.
Elder Loren C. Dunn set Elder and Sis. Noorlander apart for their mission before they left for Provo to enter the LTM to study Spanish for two months.

RE: Elder and Sister Dan Noorlander
Dear President Arnold:
I just received a copy of a report which this couple had sent to Brother Henry Peterson of the General Church Welfare Committee. It was their July 24th report, evidently of their monthly activities.
It sounded wonderful and I was thrilled to hear of the reslts that they are obtaining from their labors in Patzicia. I do not know this couple, nor do I know how long they have been there, or what their assignment was; but from this short report, I gather they are trying to help the farmers to apply some basic agriculture methods to make their farming more efficient and productive. I think this is great!
I hope you will convey to them my love and appreciation for what they are doing. Let them know that we are grateful for their sacrifice and their efforts and wish them joy in their labors.
Trust that all is well with you. It would be nice to see you sometime. If I can ever help, let me know.
Warm personal regards,
Signed
A. Theodore Tuttle
