Dear (names of a couple),
Somewhere along the way, (name) learned that you met with me about a year ago relative to the marijuana grow incident that has led to you ultimately filing a suit or suits against him and possibly some patients.
Recently, he asked to meet with me to tell his side of the story. He shared with me some of the extremely blunt text and social media messages that have gone on between you. While he didn’t directly request it, I’m certain he was hoping I could prevail on you to either back down or modify some of the litigation.
Frankly, I don’t want to get in the middle of any litigation. But my heart breaks when a disagreement between two families in the Church and in our stake reach this level.
Is there anything I can do to help bring about a reconciliation? Would you like to meet again? I’m not interested in getting involved in debating each side’s story or or having to take sides…I love both families equally and can hardly stand the fact that an offense has reached this level of pain and suffering for both parties.
When the Lord gives a commandment such as “I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men,” (D&C 64:10) then I can’t help but want to do something to help both of you reap the blessings of fulfilling this commandment.
Is there anything I can do to help bring peace in both families? I’d welcome your counsel.
Gratefully,
Crismon Lewis
