Mom,
Thank you for you letters and updates I really miss you and being able to talk and text updates and the convenience of the 'real' world. Everyone says the mission goes by fast and it will be over before you know it, but I don't think I want it to go by fast. Which is difficult because there are already times where I want to call home and talk with you, dad and the girls. Even though I am making new friends and growing my family, I still miss home. In Alma 56:47-56 it speaks of the stripling warriors and their faith in God and their strength that they had because of that faith. They gained their faith from their mothers. You have had such a wonderful impact on my life and your testimony and love of the gospel have strengthened my testimony and my love of the gospel. I know in 22 months I will be disappointed I have to go, but joyous because it is back to my family.
Love Your Boy,
Jesse
Dad,
I have been thinking about how you are not able to golf for the next little while and how that puts you in the same boat as me. As I thought more about it I found you re in the worse of the two situations. In mine at least I get my tan, you just have to work more! :p I miss being able to hang out with my dad. I miss fight night, football and even though it is not golf season there, it is here and I miss it! There are days when I am out here and just wish I could have you with me or at least just talk to you. I cannot wait until I have the next opportunity to call, hear voices and actually have a conversation with my family. One of the new elders here has a quote by a photo of his family. It states, "missionaries give up two years of their lives to others can be with their families forever." I love that quote because even though I am out here away from all those fun things I miss out on with you, I am doing it so others don't have to miss out on those same things for eternity. I love you and the great example you have set in my life as a worthy priesthood holder, a great father, and a great friend.
Your best friend and son,
Jess
