Letters From David: To My Dearest Family (and friends)

A little note before you continue on with the letters...

Hey! For all those who have been waiting for me to update for...-whew! 8 weeks! long time! Sorry about that guys!-well I just added the last eight letters from David. I'm going to put the following in all-caps for those who are just kinda scanning -or not even scanning, I'm sure in some cases- this little extra from yours truly. THERE ARE TWO NEW PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM, CHECK THEM OUT. Sorry again for taking so long, I guess I've just been really horrible at being consistent with this since school began, maybe a little before then. Ok, enjoy reading!!!

To My Dearest Family (and friends)

Dear Family,
Sorry that I don't have tons of time to write this email. I"m not sure what to tell you really.

Something has been changing in me since the beginning of the mission. I'm not sure how to really explain it. In the beginning, I remember hearing about how missionaries didn't want to go home at the end of their mission... and yet at the same time, I saw missionaries (a couple - not more than 5) either goofing off or going home, and I thought, "Well, I know this is important to the Lord, so I'll stick it out to the end."

Yes, those were a few of my pensamientos in the beginning. But now it's completely different. I'm slightly scared of going home. I mean, I want to. I love everyone back home, but... I'm on the road of some major changes here on my life. I don't want to screw them up. And I'm almost halfway done with my mission and I'm thinking, "Where did that time go?" Here I was thinking that I was in for the long-haul, but it wasn't like that at all..

Anyway,

I am so glad that I received your letters.

I love you all. I'll think up some things to tell you about this upcoming week.

I'm so glad that I have you all. You're such a great support for me in my life. Keep striving to be your best!

Love you all!
Elder Ostler
