Carissimo Anziano Botta,

Sono meraviglioso! E il mio piacere piu profondo che mio figlio possa essere il tuo compagno!

I am so very delighted that he gets to serve with an Italian! I love every single one of you! I had the best time in Italy on my mission (1993 - 1995, so I TOTALLY missed your Dad!) My entire life has been blessed because of my service in the Lord's work. I know you and your family will be blessed for your service, even down through your children and your children's children!

I am delighted to hear Elder Draper is a good missionary. I'm sure you'll keep him in line. He is so funny! He always had us laughing. I am so very happy and honored that he is in your care as his first companion in the field. Thank you for being amazing and being where you need to be at this time. He has also said how amazing you are, thank you for your AWESOMNESS!

We pray for you everyday. Take care, BLESS YOU!
