We were so happy to receive a voicemail from President Ivins, a member for Eli's Branch Presidency in the MTC. He left the following message:

Hi Brother Moore, this is Brother Ivins from the MTC Branch Presidency. I just called to let you know that Elder Moore is doing a fantastic job as District Leader. You've raised a wonder son and in fact his District is really setting a great example for the other Districts in our Branch and I just thought you would like to know that. He's awesome, he's a wonderful missionary and he's a great leader. That's all - call me if you have any questions. Thank you and have a great day!

This message made our day!! Especially since we had not heard much from Eli since he began at the MTC. It just reassured us that he was happy and doing well. What more could you ask for!?

Later that week, Jason and I were able to speak to President Ivins and had an awesome conversation. He told us that he had been serving at the MTC for 6 months and that Eli was the first missionary he felt inspired to call home about. He talked about how great Eli and his companion Elder Steel had done and what great missionaries they are. Such a great man! We are grateful for his influence and confidence in Eli!

Elder Steel, Elder Moore and Brother Ivins
