Querido familia,
quiero escribir este email a todos y por eso, me voy a escribir en ingles. Well, today we went to the temple. It was great! I loved it. I always love going to the temple.
Hmm... well to start off, I feel that I owe some of you an apology. I haven't written you directly back/answered your questions in the weekly family broadcast. However, let it be known that I read ALL of your letters. I don't print them out... the library charges inordinate sums of money for that. During the reading portion, I have a tendency to reminisce. That is definitely my fault. I will do my best to get back to you all on pressing matters (*cough - Jessica's & Steve's baby) etc.
Well, to start off, I love the mission. Not because it's easy - because it definitely does not fall into that category. I just love it because it is awesome. And I don't want to stop.
It's funny, because while writing this, I am constantly reminded of how tired I am... and there's that voice in the back of my head that says, "Are you suicidal? You want to keep up this ridiculous pace?"
To which my heart replies with a resounding, "Yes". It isn't a shout. It's more like a stern-faced, determined answer.
What is my point? I have decided to include in my letter to President Gelwix that I would like to extend my mission. Might as well take care of this business while I still have time.
It is hard. But doing it is molding/carving me into the person I want to be.
I hope we are all unified on this decision.
I don't know how long it will be for - if it even will go through... nevertheless, it's worth a try.
I just want you all to know that I love you so much. Every single one of you give me great joy. I am so happy to be a part of this family. You are such a strength to me. I think of you every time I say the words "eternal family".
Love,
Elder Ostler
