Intro Letter to President S (Mission President)
President S,
We were asked to send a short note about our feelings about our son and his talents.
We love J very much and are very excited about his choice to serve a mission. We are glad he did not go out “just because he was nineteen”. He waited until he was ready. I believe he is really ready to be where our Father in Heaven wants him.
He is a missionary pioneer for our family. I was not active in my youth and did not serve a mission. My father was not a member. We are excited about the eternal difference J is making for us.
J is relatively quiet, reserved, and a bit shy sometimes.
I doubt J will be your top scriptorian. However, with his tender heart and a sense of empathy, I believe he will come to you quite ready to love the people—investigators, antagonizers, active members, less active members, his companions, and leaders. He especially loves children. He’s a big guy, but he’s a teddy bear with kids.
I believe he will come to you with a good foundation of being in tune with the Spirit. I believe he understands what the Spirit is, is learning to recognize It, and will be eager to explore how to cultivate and enhance his relationship with the Spirit.
He does sometimes get frustrated. He has a pretty good sense of the right thing to do, and sometimes when people don’t walk up to their duties, he gets frustrated. (Sometimes people either get better at their duties or they just don’t—and you can’t make them be better.) Jordan doesn’t ever “take it out” on them, but he sometimes internalizes his frustration.
I appreciate your willingness to serve in my son’s behalf.
Our contact information is:
Thank you,
Jim K
