You were a very faithful writer to me on my mission. I always looked forward to hearing from you.
From a letter to Grandma and Grandpa from Trevor:
"Hello! I just wanted to write you one last time before I see you again. I wanted to tell you that I am grateful for your example to me,
and for being Great Grandparents. You did a good job raising my dad, and me into worthy Melchizedek Priesthood holders. That is a huge success.
You are amazing. I have seen your parenting through how my dad raises me. I'm grateful to carry your name on my name tag.
I only started to realize that every time I went over to your house to work in the yard, both of you had your scriptures out and you were
reading together or preparing a lesson for Sunday. I want you to know that that action did not go unnoticed. I love telling people that you
have been married for 61 years. Everyone is amazed. That is quite a feat. You have lived through a lot. I am grateful that you taught me how
to work hard. A lot of really good memories happened at your house when I was working on the always breaking sprinklers, or on anything
else Grandpa wanted me to do. I remember times of soft correction and encouragement. Grandpa always liked to call me his great grandson.
The family get togethers are and have been wonderful opportunities to help our relationships grow. You are strong, and I see that. The lessons
I have learned from you quiet examples will stay with me for eternity. I am grateful to know that we are sealed together for eternity,
and no power on earth can break that. I hope you get this letter before I get home. I'm pretty sure you will, but not too much longer
and we can talk face to face. I love you a lot.
Love, Elder (Trevor) Mills
