We Have Faith in Our Savior Jesus Christ.

Once again, President Laycock and I are most grateful for your prayers and love. We are thankful beyond words for the guidance of the Lord's chosen leaders, for the blessing of the Holy Ghost, and for the obedience of our Missionaries in "preparing every needful thing." All Missionaries in the Chile Santiago East Mission are safe and accounted for following the interesting "events" of the day today. We continue to receive bounteous blessings of peace and protection, and we feel the Lord's hand as we minister to our sweet Chilean brothers and sisters.

Please continue to pray for each Missionary to be able to do all that is being required. These Missionaries are wonderful, loving, humble, and courageous. They are reaching outside of themselves in love and concern, and their service is transforming them into even more lovely individuals than they already were. They are serving with all their heart, might, mind and strength, and the light of Jesus Christ shines brightly in their eyes and in their smiles. As Missionaries in the Chile, Santiago East Mission, we have faith in our Savior Jesus Christ, and we know that He has called us to labor in this part of His vineyard at this time for a very specific purpose. He walks beside us, and He directs this work. Of this we are sure.

We love our Missionaries, and we love the beautiful Chilean people!

Thank you so much for your wonderful post. i heard that there had been a significant "after shock" there today, so I went to the blog to look for an update. We are forever grateful to Pres. and Sis. Laycock for being such inspired, "in tune" and loving leaders looking over all of the missionaries in the Chile Santiago East Mission. Our prayers are with all of you!
With love,

You ease our hearts as you care for the church there in Chile, the members and our missionaries. Thank you for this post. We have been without any details and to see your post eases our minds. We know you are more busy than ever as you are engaged in the Lords work there and we love all you do. We think you are amazing!
With appreciation,
Chris & Sherrie Martineau

Hope things will get better for this poor suffering country and its people. And thank you for taking care of my missionary tirelessly.

Hi Sister Laycock,
Elder Mark Hansen's brother opened his mission call last evening at BYU at his dorm. We so hoped for another son to be with you in Chile. Adam will be serving in the Canada Calgary Mission Mandarin Speaking.He is very excited. We all did think it would be so wonderful to have 2 missionaries working in Chile.Thanks so much for the loving care and guidance to our missionaries.

LISA! I have no idea how I just stumbled upon your blog, but I did. A few weeks ago I read your letter about the earth quake. It was SO SO inspiring! Just like you are. I don't think I have ever told you how much I adore/admire you.

Anywho... I just wanted to say hi! And I think the world of you!

Loves!
