Message from President Arrington

10-4-2014
We let Trenton know via email to his Mission President, about his Grandma Neilson's passing.  We were so appreciative of President Arrington's kind words of sympathy, as well as the great words he had to say about Trenton.


Dear Brother and Sister Neilson,

Thank you so much for letting us know.  We extend our sincere sympathy and love to you and your family at this difficult time. 

We mentioned to Elder Neilson on Thursday the update you had given us last week.  As you mentioned, it was not a surprise to him.  He said he knew she would be in a much better place and much better off if she were to pass on to the other side of the veil. 

We will let him know in person this afternoon or evening and then will let you know how he is doing, if that would be OK.  If he feels he would like to talk with you we can let him call you as well.  

Thank you so much for sharing Elder Neilson with us.  He is such a wonderful missionary and a great leader.  He is assigned to a zone where we need leaders with faith, determination and excitement for the work.  He possesses all of those qualities. 

Once again, we are sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you.

Love, 

President and Sister Arrington


Later on that night:

Brother and Sister Neilson

I spoke with Elder Neilson earlier this evening and let him know.  He wanted you to know that he is doing OK.  He was prepared for the news.  He said he will write you on Monday.  

Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

Presidente Kent J. Arrington
