Dear Reed
1-25-17
I thought you would like to see this text and mine.

"Hello, my name is Lynda. This Saturday morning I am to be baptized because of your precious son, Elder Mitchell :) I moved here almost three months ago and a week after I had moved in I heard a knocking on my door. Heavenly Father has shown me His love and redeeming Grace through these missionaries. They have shown me patience, love, and understanding

As they have taught me about the Atonement and Repentance and Heavenly Fathers redeeming Grace! Sorry, I sent this before I was finished tying...me and technology don't mix well! Lol!  Anyways, I can't begin to express my gratitude to your sons, Elder Mitchell and Elder Lamping, and to you, for your prayers and encouragement!

You have amazing sons!! I will remember them always and I pray that Heavenly Father blesses them and all of you always! I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. ❤️"

My response: "Thank you Lynda. Such expression of kind words makes my heart so happy. I am especially happy that you have had faith in Jesus Christ and in his healing power. He is the great physician. I love Jesus Christ and his gospel with all of my heart. It is the way to find true joy which is deeper than happiness. I love you and am thankful for the love and trust you have given my Son. I have been praying for you. I am so excited about your baptism!! Love, Sister Mitchell "
