Letter from President O'Bryant - June 15, 2017

Dear Brother and Sister Francis,

Elder Benjamin Mark Francis will return home on 11 July 2017 from the Denmark Copenhagen Mission.

It has been a real joy to have Elder Francis here in the mission. He has been a diligent and obedient missionary throughout his mission. He has learned to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with conviction and boldness. As a leader in the mission, he has inspired others to be their best and has influenced the lives of his investigators, his companions, and his mission president. He has been exact in his obedience, and has witnessed the miracles that have followed.

I have also had the chance to watch this young man grow in the gospel as he has served. His knowledge and testimony have put down deep roots, and his faith has expanded. He has learned to love the people of Denmark, and has made great sacrifices on their behalf.

Elder Francis returns from the mission field with our love, gratitude and prayers. He has a fixed determination to continue his faithful service to the Lord upon his return home. I ask that you help him in the difficult transition from intense missionary zeal to the routine of life at home. Please encourage him to enroll in an Institute program and help him become established in the Ward or Branch where he will be attending.

Thank you for sending such an outstanding young missionary to the Denmark Copenhagen Mission. May the Lord continue to bless you in your service.

Sincerely,

President Daniel R. O'Bryant
Denmark Copenhagen Mission
