Yesterday we recieved Michael's release letter from his Mission President in the mail. It was adressed to Mr. & Mrs. Michael Rowley Nelson. He expressed gratitude for Elder Nelson's service along with his release date and included was a travel intinerary for his return trip home. At the bottom of the letter there was a special handwritten note from President Simmons which read as follows:
A fantastic missionary!
Loved and served with all he had.
I will miss his influence on the whole mission.
You can be very, very pleased with his offering.
It was a very nice letter and brought tears to my eyes.
He will be home in just 33 short days! We are so excited!!
