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 "
