Email from the Mission Home

(Elder & Sister Bailey are a missionary couple serving in the mission home. They have been there since February. They don't speak any French & the mission president doesn't speak any English, so they have their work cut out for them :). They are so wonderful and I appreciate them so very much!! They sent me this email....)

The Legere Family,
Hello from the Ivory Coast! When Elder Legere was here at the Bureau today, he mentioned that he has not been able to send any pictures home. So here are two wonderful pictures for you to add to your selection. (Elder Legere said it was meager!!) We appreciate so much the fine son you have. He is an example of great faith and hope. He has put his trust in the enabling power of the atonement and is serving with all of his might, mind and strength. He is a wonderful part of the Ivory Coast missionary work, we love and appreciate him so much.

Elder Touhouly and your son have been a model companionship for the whole mission. They bring tears to my eyes when I think about their unconditional love for each other and the people they serve. We wish they could stay together forever, but the Lord teaches us and refines us little by little until we become just like Him. And sometimes that takes great, great faith which is what we are here to learn.

Sincerely,
Elder and Sister Bailey

Elder Legere & Elder Touhouly
