Letter from one of his Ward members

I am not going to use the name of the people that sent this--I don't want to embarass them or offend them because I have not asked them if it would be all right.  I just wanted to put it up so that family and friends could read it--it was such a nice letter.

Dear Sister Rice,
I have worried your son about asking for your address.  I'm unsure why he would think negatively about my wanting to write you a short note.  But honestly I didn't answer when he asked WHY?  Anyway, I was thinking that I wanted to tell you what a glorious young man you have for a son and great missionary who has a strong testimony and is willing to be uncomfortable when trying to get people to listen about Christ and his plan for us.  I am a diabetic just like him and he has shared a lot of neat stuff with me & I have done things different because of his ideas.  It's his choice how he chooses to deal with this disease.  We are all learning every day to be better or not.  He wants to be here and tries hard not to make it difficult for others because of this illness.  We as a ward are blessed to be able to have him.  Thank you for all of your love and support you give all the time.  We feel ver blessed to have him.  We hope he stays as long as Elder Yarn.

Best wishes.
