Dear Family:
When we talk about the hand of the Lord in our lives, we sometimes overlook some of the obvious.
Somewhere along the line the Lord has blessed us with energy and vigor (when we say “us” we mean our family – not just Gummy and Gumpy). Isn’t this the hand of the Lord? Almost without exception, couples tell us after our visits that they cannot imagine how we get everything done and how much energy we have. The comments from the couple below are quite typical.
We just thought – this energy and vigor is a great example of the hand of the Lord in our lives – and we are most grateful. We can take no credit for this personally – it is a gift from Heavenly Father. This gift of energy and vitality has certainly made it possible for us to be an instrument in His Hands quite a bit beyond the age which you would expect to be functioning in the type of work we are doing. We acknowledge this special blessing and give thanks to the Lord for granting us this opportunity.

Dear Elder and Sister Cullimore,
We hope your trip to Ecuador and back to the States was successful and safe.
Taking a little time to reflect on the 10 days you were here in Peru with us, leaves us with no doubt that this part of your trip was very successful.
Our first thought and feeling is one of much gratitude to both of you for your time, efforts and knowledge that you have been willing to share with us. And we are very grateful to our Heavenly Father for the many wonderful experiences we had with you during our trips to Chiclayo and Iquitos. We feel that your tireless efforts and hard work will be a great blessing to the people here in Peru and to us.
Our second feeling and thought is, where do you get the energy to do all that you do? I believe Audrey and I both came away feeling like wow, we need to get in better shape if we want to stay up with the Cullimore's. You are a great example of getting things done and giving service when most would be taking a more easy road in life. Thank you for your example!
Thank you again for all that you have done and for your friendship. We will do our best to move this work forward in a way that will hopefully be productive and sustainable.
We will keep you posted on our progress and look forward to more opportunities in the future to work together with you in this great work that we have been blessed to participate in.
Muchisimas Gracias por todo,
Jeff and Audrey
