This is Sister Baer. Your son is staying with us right now while he is staying on his mission. I have wanted to write to you for some time now to let you know how much our family and this ward loves him. He is a great example. He has great faith. He is a hard worker. I also want you to know, he loves and appreciates his mother very much. Over the past years, we have had the great privilege of having missionaries stay with us. This is not always an easy task. I have seen many missionaries over the years. I probably should not have favorites, but Elder Seawell will probably be my favorite so far. This is because of his great dedication to the Lord. From what I see, he is completely obedient. He spends all of his time working. If he gets back to the home and it is still too early, he says, "We are going back out. There is still time to see a few more families." He is also a good example to my children. He has a positive attitude. He is forgiving and nonjudgmental. He is humble. He is easy-going. (You see? I cannot say enough.)
Now Elder Seawell has shared with me that he has struggled through many obstacles. He also shares with me that you, his faithful and loving mother, never gave up on him. I want to know that many lives in this area have been and will be blessed because of your dedication to the Lord. I want to thank you personally for your great faith and good example to him. He speaks so highly of you. You give me great encouragement as I raise my 6 children. It is not always easy.
I have a great testimony of the Lord's work here on this earth. I know that He carries out His work through faithful and obedient missionaries, like your son. I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to help these young men in any way that I can. They bring a holy spirit into my home. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do for you.
Have a wonderful day.
Love,
Sister Baer
