President Woodward,

Thank you for taking care of our son (Clayton Holdstock) for the last 22 months. We have seen such a spiritual growth in him. We are so looking forward to his return home. Maybe we are anxious parents, but we are wondering if he has his travel plans yet. We have family in Canada that is wanting to make travel plans to see him return home. I contacted the Missionary Travel Department and they said they did not have any travel plans in their system yet and recommended we contact you.  If you could kindly put a trunky mom’s anxiety to rest, it would be greatly appreciated. We know you might want to keep him forever, I know we do. 

Thank you for your service and great example to him. He has enjoyed training and teaching with you. We are eternally grateful to you and your wife.

Dear Brother Holdstock,

The secretaries have already reached out to buy your son's plane tickets. His group is scheduled to depart from Chile on October 29th.  His release date is October 30.  The exact time of his departure is still not known, but we will let you know as soon as we know. We are glad that you have reached out to us for this information. Elder Holdstock is one of the best missionaries in the mission. If not the best. Tell his mother that she doesn't need to worry or get trunky he still has a while left. If there are any other questions please let us now. We thank you for your good parenting and your understanding. 

Sincerely,
Elder Holdstock
