How blessed and grateful we are to have had the opportunity
to serve with each of you in this wonderful Columbus Ohio Mission! We have
planned, prepared and looked forward for this missionary opportunity for 40
years and it has been not only a wish come true, but even better than we ever
dreamed! Our testimonies of the Savior, His Gospel and His Atonement have been
so richly enriched and we have seen miracles in the lives of so many people,
including our own! How grateful we are
for the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and all that it means to us
in our lives and the lives of people we have met in Ohio! We are so grateful
for the blessings of repentance, temples, prophets, scriptures, baptism,
personal revelation and the gift of the Holy Ghost. We have been humbled to
watch each of you missionaries, young and old work so hard to dedicate your time
and energy in the Lord’s service. You are all such wonderful examples to us! We
have been so blessed to have had President and Sister Stratford as our Mission
President and wife- what amazing, loving and faithful leaders they are! What a
blessing they are and have been to us and all OCM missionaries!
We are so blessed to have the assurance of the Lord’s timing
in our lives! We know that this is His
Work and we have been blessed enough to get to be a part of it! It is our
prayer that our service here in Ohio has shown our Heavenly Father and His Son
just how grateful we are for all of the incredible blessings and tender mercies
He has extended to us. We leave you with
our testimony of the truthfulness of this His work and ask His richest blessings
to be with each of you as you go forward and serve Him among these wonderful
people of Ohio! May the Lord continue to bless you as you serve with “power
from on high (D & C 38:32)“!
Much Love, Elder and Sister Blanchard
