letter from president jolliffe

A letter that brought tears to our eyes.  We are continually humbled and grateful for Connor's service.  

Dear Brother and Sister Rawle,

I am pleased to advise you that your son has been called to serve as a Trainer in the New Zealand, Wellington Mission. This is the highest compliment the Lord could pay your son.

President Monson has said, "Always select your outstanding missionaries to introduce the new Elders and new Sisters to the field."  From the Doctrine and Covenants comes this beautiful passage:  "And if any man among you be strong in the Spirit, let him take with him that is weak, that he may be edified in all meekness, that he may become strong also."  It is for these reasons that your son has been called by the Lord as Trainer.

Thank you for supporting your son in the mission field.  It is a joy to serve with him in this wonderful work of the Lord.

Kindest regards,

Clive R. Jolliffe

Mission President
