Sometimes Elder Quentin L. Cook shows up. And sometimes you get to sing for him in a special musical number.




Saturday, May 18th. 7:27am. Elder Quentin L. Cook and Sister Mary Cook entered the ********, LA LDS Chapel.

A few minutes later, myself and 10 of my fellow missionaries sang "If the Savior Stood Beside Me".  Don't ask me how I got chosen...I've never been one of those obviously musical/outrageously gifted people, but I was so SO grateful to be a part of it. 

...Especially b/c I got to sit on the front row afterward--aka like 10 feet from an Apostle of Jesus Christ as he left us with some of the most relevant, real counsel we could have ever asked for...becoming a part of our wards and branches and LIFTING them, having truer and deeper FAITH in the work, and focusing on COMMITMENTS. in addition to an Apostolic blessing on each of us--that we would overcome discouragement with an ability to remember the deep importance of the work and that those specific family members back home who were struggling would be blessed and bolstered because of our efforts.

It was a beautiful day. I love LOVE this work, and all of you.

You're in my prayers.

Love,

Hermana Wells
