This letter is from a Sister in Idaho

Brother and Sister Hardy-

I just wanted to let you know that my 12 year old daughter and I attended a Book of Mormon study group that the Elders put on last week. There were a few new converts as well as some ward missionaries also in attendance. They did such a wonderful job! I often take for granted all that I learned having grown up in the church, but there is so much to learn about The Book of Mormon and who wrote in it and for what purpose. I was again very impressed by Elder Hardy's testimony and knowledge of the gospel. I can't believe he has only been out on his mission for a short time!

As I have two young sons that I am trying to prepare for missions, I want to ask what you did to help your son be so prepared for his mission. My two boys are only 8and 6, but I know that they will be 19 before I know it! I hope that they will have such a strong testimony when the time comes for them to serve as full time missionaries in the Lord's vineyard. I would appreciate any advice that you would like to share!
