"Dear Jason,

I've felt for months that I need to let you know how much I appreciate your Hymns Collection, and the wonderful influence it has had on me and my family. Last year one of my daughters purchased "Favorite LDS Piano Solos III". I especially love "Simple Gifts" and "Come Thou Fount". Last Fall I played "Simple Gifts" in sacrament meeting near Thanksgiving. When I was finished, a child with cerebral palsy called out from the back of the chapel, "Good job!" (very loudly). It was the BEST compliment I could ever have received, but I know it's because of the spirit he felt from that beautiful song. :)

My daughter, Hailey, is serving a mission in London England (She leaves the Provo MTC this week) and will have the opportunity to serve in the Hyde Park Chapel Visitors' Center. Hailey is a pianist (Bonnie Slaughter's student) and we are sure this is in large part why she was called to this mission. The Hyde Park Chapel is an attraction for people from all over the world. It also hosts many musicians and performers. Knowing that music would be part of her experience there, I purchased all three of your "Favorite LDS Piano Solos" books and asked her to choose which she thought might serve her best on this mission. Needless to say, she couldn't choose. :) She took all three and is confidant that if she ever needs a beautiful arrangement that can invite the Spirit, she'll be ready!

Thank you!!! Thank you for sharing your gift and talents with others. Thank you for maintaining the dignity and spirit of these beautiful hymns and songs. It is so nice to sit down and play my testimony. :) You are truly an instrument in God's hands."
