Letter from President Avila


Dear Brother and Sister Hone,

We are grateful for Elder Hone's service in the work of the Lord, and for his dedication to each one of the things that have been required of him.  He has shown his obedience and his love for the Savior and for his brothers by sharing with them the beautiful truths of the restored gospel, and helping them to return to their heavenly home.
It is a pleasure for me to inform you that Elder Hone has been called to work in the office staff of the Argentina Mendoza Mission.  He will serve in the position of historian of the mission.  This is a responsibility that will require his best efforts, dedication, and organization.  Elder Hone will be in charge of many sacred records of the mission such as baptism.  He will prepare mission statistics, graphics, and projects that I assign him.  He will also prepare “Aguas de Cuyo”, a newsletter that will be given monthly to every missionary.
            I place a lot of confidence in the missionaries who are called to serve in the offices.  They work to support the other missionaries in the mission.  In addition they preach the gospel and work in their own areas.  They must be examples for the mission in obedience, hard work, appearance, diligence and in all other aspects of missionary work.
            I know that this experience will have a positive and lasting influence in Elder Hone's mission.  As he serves with all his heart, both in proselyting as well as in his office responsibilities, the Lord will bless and lead him to those people who are prepared to receive the gospel.
            We are grateful for the love and support that you provide for Elder Hone.  It is our prayer that the Spirit of the Lord rests upon you and your missionary and that our Savior Jesus Christ may fill your lives with the peace and joy that comes from serving Him.


Most sincerely,

Sergio E. Avila
