DD 4.54 ... Thank-you for everything ...

Dear Bishop Dumont (And The Riverton 14th Ward)

I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me, not just over the last holiday season, but over the last 19 years of life. The ward I am currently serving in is really wonderful, and reminds me a lot fo the good old home ward back in Riverton. You were all so nice and encouraging to me growing up, and I would not be where I am today if it were not for all of you.

Things here are good. Missionary Work has pretty much the same principles were ever you go, lots of faith and lots of tenacity. I hope that everyone there is taking adantage of the wonderful opportunities around them every day to help strengthen the Lord's kingdom here on earth. Members all over the world are talking about when the big jump is missionary work is going to happen, and how amazing it is going to be. I testify to you all that that time is now and this Work is so amazing! I would not trade the last seven months for anything in the world!

I just wanted to say thank you for the strength and encouragement that I still am able to feel even though I am on the other side of the world. It is easy to know that this is God's work because of the love and support that I can feel every where I go.

Thank you all for the letters and cards over the last weeks. I love and pray for you all!

Elder Griffiths
