we will be receiving a new mission president

SO!!!! We are getting a new mission president (President Dalton) and we were asked to write him a letter, and this is the response I received (I already love my new mission president and his wife, but of course I love all the mission presidents Ive had the pleasure of serving under)-President Radenbaugh, President Batt, President Pinho (of the seventies) and soon to be President Dalton

Cara (Dear) Sister Kimball:

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful letter.  I appreciate your wonderful words.  I also was very impressed with your excellent drawing of the São Paulo Temple.  I LOVE that temple so much.  When I served as a missionary in Brasil, our mission offices were in the building directly behind the temple, so I got to see that beautiful edifice often and have such a great love for it.

Also, I couldn't agree more with you about what you said regarding the most powerful language of all (the Language of LOVE).  Not enough people understand that, but when a missionary falls in love with their mission (and the people that they serve), magic begins to happen.  That is when the Spirit really can take over and touch hearts the way they need to be touched.

I am THRILLED to hear that you are working to be EXACTLY obedient.  The Lord blesses the obedient more than they can understand.

I look forward to getting to know you and working with you in this work.

Keep being obedient......It will ALWAYS bring miracles!!

Com amor,

Presidente Dalton (e Sister Dalton)
