testimony for Vova

Dear Vova:

We are Mark and Elaine Quinn.  You know our son Chase as Elder Quinn.  We are so pleased to have him serving a mission in Illichosk, Ukraine.  In the short nine months he has been in Ukraine he has developed a deep and sincere love for the people of your county.  Though we miss Chase daily, we are grateful for this opportunity he is having to share his testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of Ukraine.  Our love for the Savior makes this sacrifice bearable.

Elder Quinn has told us about you and your efforts to gain a testimony.  We wish to share our testimonies with you in the hopes that they might help you in making your decision to be baptized.

We know that Jesus Christ lives.  We know that He has established a Church on the earth today to bless His children.  This church bears His name – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Like He has always done He leads and teaches His people through living prophets.  We know that Thomas Monson is the Lord’s living prophet on the earth today.  We also know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  This wonderful book bears witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, The Savior and Redeemer of mankind.  It teaches of His deep love for each of us – a  love that led him to sacrifice all for us.  We know the truthfulness of these things because the Spirit has borne testimony of these truths to us as we have sought a witness through prayer and study.  Our testimonies have grown over the years as we exercised faith in the words of Jesus Christ – words contained in the scriptures and spoken by modern day prophets.  We know a witness will come to you as you exercise faith in the message and testimony Elder Quinn and Hughes have brought to you.  These young men are servants of Jesus Christ sent to share his Gospel with you.  Like all the Savior’s servants they have sacrificed a great deal to share this message with you.  We also know of the happiness available from the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We know you and your family can enjoy this happiness as you accept the Gospel message. 

Thank you for your kindness and friendship to Chase.  He is happier as a missionary than he has ever been in his life.  Please know that our family prays daily for you.

Love,

Mark and Elaine Quinn
