I realize posting this letter from Brett is rather personal, but his testimony is so true and firm that I thought it might actually bless others as it does our family:
I know the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is true and that it is the only sure foundation for happiness in this life and the only way to live with our Father in Heaven again and become like Him. Mom, Dad, please whatever you do don´t stop doing the things you know are correct. Don´t stop reading the scriptures or praying or going to church or living the commandments. Don´t let this trial distance you from your Heavenly Father nor from his eternal truths. I know He lives and loves all of His children, and for that reason I will love and serve Him forever. (Rom. 8:35-39) Please don´t let differences and misunderstandings turn into hatred and animosity. The only real battle in this world is between us and Satan (Ephesians 6:12). We must not let Satan get hold of our hearts or we will end up mistakingly fighting against our very brothers and sisters that we lived with before we came to this earth. One other thing I feel I must tell you is that people can and do change all the time. We all make mistakes and, therefore, we all must repent, but if there´s one thing you learn serving a mission is the power of the Atonement and the Gospel of Christ to drastically change lives regardless of who they were before.
I love you all very much. I pray that you may be able to get through these difficult times and the other trials that lie ahead with your faith and hope still burning brightly.
Brett
