Dear President and Sister Webb,
I don't know that we will ever be able to fully express to you our thanks and appreciation for the love and kindness, the generosity and patience, the motivation, support and training you provided to our son, Alexander (Elder McDonald), as he had the amazing opportunity to serve with you in Mexico. We are so grateful for the tender care and concern you shared with him. We want to thank you most of all for always helping remind him to continually look to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and to put in the efforts daily to strengthen his own testimony, as he helped others build theirs.
Prior to his mission, Alex worked to develop a strong relationship with the Lord and love for His gospel, and it was wonderful to watch that love grow, week after week as he served. As parents (and we're sure as mission leaders) you know of the gentle peace and powerful joy you feel as your see your own children learn to trust in the Atonement of the Savior, to come to know that His love applies to them individually, and to watch and hear them testify with power and conviction of His great Plan of Happiness. Thank you for helping him to strengthen his foundation in the Savior as he learned to love and serve his brothers and sisters in Mexico. We know he will miss it dearly!
We love and appreciate you and your family for your time and sacrifice, and for helping Alex experience a bit of Heaven on earth as he served with you and that mighty mission force in the Mexican-vinyard of the Lord!
Much love, Jeff and Julie McDonald
