A letter from Steve's trainer

Liebe Familie Collings!

Hi! I'm Elder Mayle, Elder Collings' first companion in the field. I thought I'd write you a letter to let you know how he's doing.

I LOVED working with your son. He is a fantastic missionary, and I'm excited to see how he grows spiritually through his mission (since I'm not much older than him on my mission). He's a really funny guy, and a very hard worker. He was on fire the entire time I was with him. He loves street contacting more than anyone else I've met on the mission. He almost loves it more than he loves Doner. I hope he told you about Doner. And even though he struggled with the language at the beginning, he was fantastic at bearing his testimony at the right time. He always spoke from the heart, and I can tell that he loves Christ and is prepared to serve him for the next year and a half.

In my three months with Elder Collings, I learned a lot, and he claims he's learned a lot from me. I did what I could to be a good example, and rest assured that your son/ brother has been an example to me. I'm training another missionary this transfer, and I'm planning on becoming an even better missionary and applying what I have learned from my former companion.

I know that this Gospel is true, and that only through faith in Christ, repentance, and partaking of the sacrament, and keeping our covenants can we return to live with our Heavenly Father and Brother.
