New District Leader/Trainer

Dear Brother and Sister Wilhelmsen,



 

I want to express my gratitude for the excellent service of your son.  As you must surely feel from his letters, he is doing well.  I am impressed with his goodness and strength.  This letter is to inform you that Elder Wilhelmsen has just been assigned as a trainer.  I have every confidence that he will be a great trainer.



There is no position in the mission more important than trainer.  The future of the mission depends upon the work the trainers do.  It is a difficult and challenging assignment, as trainers must do most of the talking and teaching.  They have a great responsibility for the development of their new companions.  This assignment says a great deal about your son's abilities and talents and the personal respect and admiration I feel for him.



 

Your son has shown great talent and ability in sharing the gospel. He has gained the respect of his companions and trust of his leaders. Not only will Elder Wilhelmsen be a trainer but he has also been called to be a District Leader.  He will be responsible for the work and welfare of four to ten missionaries.  More responsibilities will bring more opportunities to help and influence others.  He is ready for both.



 

Thank you for supporting your son as he continues to make a positive difference here in the Arizona Phoenix Mission  Your encouragement at this time will be more important than ever.  Elder Wilhelmsen is a wonderful missionary and we love him.  We appreciate all you have done.  Please feel my best wishes for you and your family.  Your sacrifices are recognized and appreciated.  God bless you!





With love and respect,



 

President Brik V. Eyre
