Luke is a District Leader (and he's also a trainer of other missionaries)!

(the word art is this letter)

Dear Elder Petitt,

Congratulations on your assignment to serve as District Leader. With this assignment, great trust has been placed in you. I encourage you to be an example for all over whom you preside in at least the following ways:

Exact Obedience-the blessings that come to missionaries, who are obedient with exactness, are immeasurable, and by being an example you will be able to help the missionaries in your district be obedient.

A Preach My Gospel missionary so that you can show the missionaries in your district how to be successful.

A Leader who lifts and inspires the missionaries with love.

A Missionary who is focused on your purpose to bring others to Christ

A leader who is diligent, humble and hard working.

Teach the missionaries that baptism is central to our purpose to bringing others to Christ, and through your example show them how to baptize. Remember to call upon your Heavenly Father and He will qualify you for this work as you rely upon him in faith. You can also call on your zone leaders, and me for counsel and guidance.

Serve with all your heart, might, mind and strength in furthering this work. It is a privilege to work with you in this leadership role.

Love,
Marvin T. Brinkerhoff
Mission President
