July 5, 2008

We are so pleased to inform all of you that we received two letters from Josh's Mission President. In the letters it announces that Elder S. is now the District Leader in Tracy. President H. said that he is "grateful for the example that Elder S. is to the other missionaries in the district and that the position is one of trust and responsibility." Elder S. will work in close association with all the missionaries in his district to find, teach and prepare individuals for baptism.

The second letter made us aware that Elder S. is also a trainer for new missionaries, which is extended to trusted and effective missionaries. The role of trainer has more influence on the future success of a missionary than any other single factor. President H. informed us that Elder S. was given this responsibility because of his "outstanding example of faith, diligence, and his ability to teach the gospel."

President H. also asked that as a family we continue to send letters that uplift and inspire Elder S. in this important work.
