“For two years, each of my missionary children did not need me. Rather, they needed my prayers, my faith, my testimony, my letters, and, most important, the Lord. … Though letting go was difficult, I was reassured, knowing that my children were in the best of hands.” — Sister Shirley Farnsworth Berlin
