A Letter From Elder Brown

Elder Christensen,

Let me say first of all that I'm proud of you.  I'm pleased and feel grateful to have been your companion at the MTC.  I'm thankful for the example you've set for me.  You've kept me relatively close to the rules, much closer than I would have been otherwise.  I really think it took a lot of guts to give C-1 on the plan to Miami tonight.  I really admire that quality.  I'd like to bear you my testimony.  I know without any hesitation or doubt that we are doing the Lord's work here on earth.  I know the Lord helps us to do our jobs if we are trying our best and asking for His help.  I know that the Church is true.  I really felt the spirit at the temple during our last testimony meeting.  I could not possibly feel such a love for people I've only known for 8 weeks unless we were doing the work of the Lord.  I've felt the spirit many times at the MTC - perhaps more than ever before in my life.  I have gained a greater testimony of Joseph Smith also at the MTC.  I really now fully realize the greatness of that man.  I know that Spencer W. Kimball is a prophet of God today.  I have no doubt.  I know that if we follow his guidance we'll be prepared for The Second Coming.  I have a testimony of missionary work now like never before.  I know we can be as saviors for thousands if we only do the work.  The Lord is preparing the world for the end by sending us to all parts of the globe.  Let's do it!  I'm thankful for your advice and counsel.  I'm working on those weaknesses as of now.  Thanks for everything you've done for me.  I really appreciate it.

Tu companero,

Elder Ed Brown
