Dear Brethren,

This is the original letter I sent out to you in 2006, while I was a student at MSOBS.

"I'm putting together an Historical Paper, for the MSOBS Restoration class.

Because I love drawing (particularly those that God gives me) I decided to create a paper around all the sketches of brothers and sisters I've done in the church.

A portrait sketch of the church.

There is a sad lack of images in the school library, many very informative papers but few pictures. I learn better when the two are combined.

I have drawn about 60 of our brethren.

I have composed a questionnaire for each of the people I've drawn, to fill in, in the hope of compiling 60 or so images accompanied by their answers, so that we have a small illustration of the Spirit in the church today.

We usually read about the congregation or the church in general, but I've not read anything yet, about the mind of those of us walking in Jesus.

This appeals to me and I hope it will appeal to you and the others, and those who are far off.

Would you mind participating in this portrait?

In the service of Jesus, Col."
