"We had a great day with Elder Staheli. He gave us a tour of the temple grounds, the mission office, and chapel. We were able to do a session with him and his companion at the temple as well as visit his apartment and eat lunch. Later in the evening we were able to sit in on a first discussion and then have dinner with an active family. He looks a little thin, but seems to be doing extremely well both physically, mentally, and spiritually. His mission President pulled Chantyl and I into his office alone just to tell us what he thought of Elder Staheli. He said he's one of the best missionaries in the mission. He went onto say he is extremely obedient, cares a great deal for all of the missionaries he is over and loves the members and investigators with his whole heart. He said (since his mission President has only been here a few months) that he is one of the missionaries he relies on and trusts with his whole heart. He said because of the missionary Elder Staheli is he didn't hesitate at all about letting him spend the day with us. He said out of the other 258 missionaries in the mission there's only 4 others besides Elder Staheli that he'd have allowed to do that, all because he knows he won't break any rules and will do the right thing. He encouraged us to share this with the family just so we could know how valuable Elder Staheli is to the work here and what a great missionary and leader he is. Even when we finished he said he couldn't fully articulate what a great missionary he is and how proud we should all be of him. I will be sending some pictures shortly and when I get a chance to write a lengthy email I'll give a full description of our day."
