"President and Sister McQueen. I would like to write a few simple words: Thank you, I love you, you will be in my prayers, you will be blessed for our work, I will miss you, and never forget you, and the experiences you gave me. May God bless you always. You've made dreams come true."

"Well, time has surely flown by. It's a shame that we only got to know each other for a short time. Well, I am so grateful for all the help and support and advise you have given me. It has helped me on my mission and will help me for the rest of my life. I hope your mission is everything you want it to be. I love you both and will always remember you. The work will continue."

"Things here have finally come to an end for me. I will never forget what has happened for me here. I'm very grateful to you for the love you have for us. Thanks for all that you've done. I love these people! I don't know what will happen with them later in life but I will just pray and do all I can to help them from America. Take care of them."

"Dear President and Sister McQueen,
I have arrived, finally. What a wonderful adventure it has been. What an awesome couple of days. The train ride was very long, but all I did was sleep. The plane ride was long, but very interesting. The country is poor and very different. I am excited to finally be able to work. I just can't wait to share such a great and rich message. You both are awesome, thank you. The journey had begun."

"Dear President and Sister McQueen,
I'll have to admit that Ukraine is a lot different than I expected. It's nothing like America, from what I can tell. I think it's going to be fun to get out and learn about this culture. My mom was worried that I would starve here, but after I had the meal here today I don't think she needs to worry. I'm excited to get to work and share the message I've been learning about for the past 19 years. Thanks for giving us such a great loving welcome!"

"I'm so excited to be here in Ukraine! I can't wait to get out and bring the gospel to the people. I know it's going to change their lives like it has changed mine. I also can't wait to learn the language and about the culture. And I know that I'll learn a lot about the gospel and everything else while I'm here for two years. Thanks so much for all you've done for us."

"Dear President and Sister McQueen,
I want to say at this time how grateful I am to be here and to serve while I'm out here on my mission. I want to work as hard as I can and do all I can to serve the people of Ukraine and bring happiness into their lives."

"Dear President and Sister McQueen,
Thank you so much for everything. You've helped me so much. I know your call is from God. I know this is the work of the Lord. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet. I know Jesus is the Christ. I know that only through Him may we be happy. Thank you. I love you."

"Dear President and sister McQueen,
I really appreciate all you do. You two really are a good example for me. I know that God called you here for may different reasons. I know that your service is needed. This mission has changed so much since you've come. I've really learned to love all aspects of this work. I feel more prepared for live because of the things you've taught us. This mission really is an MTC for life. Your emphasis on the missionary and his/her calling and happiness personally did much for me. God bless you, thanks for everything."

"Thank you so much for everything. I've learned so much here on my mission. You both have really helped me out."

"Well, I guess this is it. It is over. It has been a blast and I loved it. The church is true and the work will go forward. I've learned a lot, but the gospel is still true no matter what. The spirit has been strong and I've grown - wow. What an experience. Can't be put into words. The church is true."

"It was inspiring to watch both of you - your examples of faith, of acceptance and love. It was certainly a standard to measure up to. Most of all, I loved seeing your strong relationship with each other. I think I agree with the words of the called to serve video - when you are out working with all your heart, there is never a happier time in your life. If you give only 75%, you are never going to have the Spirit's support. But when you give your whole soul, your strength seems to never end. I will always be thankful to theLord for the many lessons and miracles of my mission."

"Dear president ans Sister McQueen,
Well it is over. I love you both and I am grateful for the friendship which we have developed. I love my mission. I hope in 20 or 30 years you will be able to see that I love my mission. Maybe in three years you will have to come mountain biking down in ..."

"Was up my parents of the mission? I love you both so much, thanks for everything you have taught and given me here in the mission. I'm so blessed that I could come and serve here in Ukraine. I know the church is true with all my heart. I love the B.O.M. I love how Maxwell put it, "The Book of Mormon is drenched in Christ." Don't forget that kid in O- town who will never forget you both. Thanks for the loves and believing! The work is so true and we are so blessed, keep in touch! You know the loves are here. I'll check you in a few! Picture me roll'in. Thank you! Laters!"

McQueen's,
There is no way that I could describe my feelings to you in this book. You have both taught me so much and I am so thankful to you. I loved serving here with you and helping you as best I could. I love my mission with all my heart. I don't feel like I'm going home. I'm so empty. It will feel weird to live outside of the mission. We'll be praying for you and the mission. I love you.
