Letter from Pres Millar to Families and Missionaries

2012 Dear Parents, We are so excited to be serving here with your sons and daughters. We love each and every one of them. They are so amazing and are outstanding examples for the Church here in England. Thank you for the wonderful job you have done in raising such wonderful young people. We had a reporter ask us recently how you get young people like them, and we told them it was because they have such wonderful families at home who taught them to revere the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are already anticipating the Christmas season. We are hoping to have a wonderful celebration with our missionaries. In addition, we know that you will want to send Christmas gifts to your children. Could you please send all packages to the Mission Office? Last year, some of our missionaries received their gifts at their flats. Unfortunately for some, once the postman left the package, someone came by and stole everything. More than one returned to their flat to find an empty box sitting in front of their door. By sending your parcels to the Mission Office, someone will always be there to receive it and place it in a secure location. We shall distribute the packages throughout the mission, and they will receive them in their assigned areas sometime before Christmas. The office address is: England London South MissionThe London TempleWest Park Road, Newchapel, Surrey RH7 6NBEngland When mailing a package from North America, please indicate the value of the package as less than $40.00. This is so the missionaries won’t have to pay 20% Value Added plus custom charges. Thank you so very much for all your sacrifices. We love you very much and enjoy our association with you as parents. May God bless you. Sincerely,England London South Mission Office Staff

Dear Sisters and Elders, 12 November 2012 The election is over. Some of you may be disappointed that Governor Romney did not win. The church received a lot of notoriety throughout the last year. This was good. We need to accept that God knows best what is needed for the church at this time. I trust fully that the Lord is still in charge. We need to support the governments of the countries that we represent. It is a worldwide church and we need to remember that. (this is what president millar wrote us so i thought you should read it haha)
