Dear Sister Olsen,

I am sorry that I could not see you but I am thankful you are thus far on your journey. You must be looking unto Jesus every moment and understand that He is watching over you, and He calls you one of His little ones. Be not discouraged. He will be to you a present help in every time of need. 20LtMs, Lt 364, 1905, par. 1

I believe in your behalf the angels of God will bless and keep you on your passage. We will pray for you. Be cheerful. Angels will watch and you will not be left alone. I know you can help each other. Always be cheerful, for this is half the battle, the highest display of the power of truth, the brightest trophy to the power of grace. Truth is grace to holding fast the power of truth through unwavering faith. 20LtMs, Lt 364, 1905, par. 2

Know for a certainty that the Lord is your guide and exceeding great reward. Let the praise of Jesus be in your heart and upon your lips. We sincerely hope that you will be continually, trustingly, going upward, and that the Lord’s care will preserve. You must expect to improve in health because the Lord desires you should be happy in His love. Let not one word of unbelief pass from your lips and you will be a blessing to souls and may you and your husband be assured all the way that you are in the path of duty. 20LtMs, Lt 364, 1905, par. 3

God bless you, dear sis. Be happy in God. 20LtMs, Lt 364, 1905, par. 4
