RESPONDING TO OUR CALL

Dear Brethren:

I feel humbled to have received this mission call to the Washington Kennewick Mission. My wife and I have waited 37 years to do this together. What a blessing it is! We are excited to serve the Lord in the capacity in which He has called us. We have witnessed miracles in our lives that will allow us to accomplish this mission, at this time. I have a firm testimony that when one has a desire to serve, the Lord will provide the way. I know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith is and was a Prophet of God. I know that Thomas S. Monson is the living Prophet on the face of the earth today. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I feel empowered by this call to serve. I know as I serve, study and pray, that the Lord will pour out His blessings upon us and those that we serve. I know that by serving Him, I will gain greater understanding of His Life and will be able to emulate His Love in what we have been called to do.

My wife and I look forward to serving many missions, and especially look forward to our first in the Washington Kennewick Mission.

Thank you for this opportunity!

Best Regards,

Elder Charles Edwin Lee



Dear Brethren:

I know that God lives and answers prayers. I have a testimony of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I know from personal experience that a "willingness" to be obedient, until the end of my life, very literally has blessed me with power to make changes that would have been otherwise impossible.

I have received powerful witnesses from Heaven of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, of the Restoration through our Prophet Joseph Smith, of this Church being the only true church on the face of the earth, and that we are led by a living prophet, President Thomas S. Monson. But most of all, I know that Jesus is the Savior of all mankind, and that the Plan of Salvation works! I am humbled to accept this call to proclaim these truths, and hope for many opportunities to build His Kingdom.

It will be an honor and privilege to labor by the side of my good husband at Camp Zarahemla. Living and working on this dedicated campground, for me, will be like living in the temple..."a Holy Mountain of the Lord". Serving a mission at this time in our lives is just what we need to purify our hearts.

Thank you....thank you....and thank you again!

Sincerely,
Sister Carol H. Lee
