Brother and Sister Peters (and President Layton),
After planning with Elder Peters, we have asked our
little army of missionaries to fast and pray with you this coming
Saturday, September 15 until Sunday, September 16. We talked with the
district leaders personally and asked them to communicate
Matthew’s situation in general terms to all missionaries in person or
by telephone. Then we followed up with the following text to all
missionaries:
“Mis queridos Hermanas y Elderes, el hermano de Elder Peters, quien se llama Matthew y
tiene 16 años, ha sido diagnosticado con una forma muy grave de cáncer.
Elder Peters y su familia han pedido que nos unamos con ellos en un
ayuno este sábado (15 de Septiembre) hasta domingo. Vamos a estar
ayunando con toda la familia y barrio de los Peters, y yo les he
prometido que ayunaríamos y oraríamos como una misión unida y con mucha
fe. Yo sé que Nuestro Padre Celestial escuchará nuestras peticiones por
el beneficio de Mateo. (Isaías 58:6-11) Gracias
mis amigos fieles.”
Here is the English Translation:
“My dear Sisters and Elders, Elder Peters’ brother,
Matthew, who is 16, has been diagnosed with a serious form of cancer.
Elder Peters and his family have asked that we join with them in a fast
this Saturday (September 15) until Sunday.
We will be fasting with the Peters’ entire family and ward, and I have
promised them that we would fast and pray as a united mission and with
great faith. I know that our Heavenly Father will hear our prayers on
Matthew’s behalf. (Isaiah 58:6-11) Thank
you my faithful friends.”
We love Elder Peters, Matthew and the whole Peters family. We are with you on this, and we look forward to our joint fast.
Sincerely,
President Deere
