An awesome email

Okay so I have to send this to you. A real tear jerker... This was Presidents email this week. And I don't know if you remember, but he only has 3 more weeks in the mission... :(:(:(

From President Smart...

As you probably know, Elder Perry visited and trained the Stake Presidencies and Bishops who serve in our mission boundary on Saturday, and then spoke at the Moreno Valley Stake Conference on Sunday.

Sister Smart and I had an opportunity to visit with him, too. While we visited, Sister Smart asked, "Elder Perry, what would you want our missionaries to know?" Elder Perry replied with this answer, "Tell them they have, and are doing a marvelous job. Tell them to stay strong and keep on doing the good that they are engaged in. They are doing a hard thing. The people of the world are losing their faith. The missionaries in this mission need to continue to stand as a beacon of light and hope to the world. Tell them to stay strong and active in the gospel. Tell them to attend the temple often after they return home. Tell them the only place they will ever find peace is staying true to the things they are teaching."

Elder Perry is 91 years old, but he is full of life and energy. He extends his love and admiration to each of you. Sister Smart and I do the same. We love you and are so grateful for the opportunity we have to work together with you in this great cause.

Love,

President and Sister Smart

PS - Don't forget to send copies of your baptism pictures. We only have a couple of weeks left before we will be making the baptism DVD for our June Multi-zone conference.


I love him. I love Elder Perry. I love this gospel.
