A Letter From Elder Nelson

Elder John,

Well Elder, this is it.  The 8 weeks are over and we are finally on our way.  It has been really neat developing a great friendship with you.  We have studied together and worked together and really grown close.  You and your companion have really brought life to our room and made my days a true pleasure to live.  Thanks for our great "runs" during gym.  I really got to know you a lot better because of them.

Elder, you are going to have a great mission.  You have a neat, loveable spirit and a strong testimony of the Gospel.  The people of Bolivia are in for a treat when you arrive and start spreading the Gospel.  Do your best, as I know you will, and you will be successful.

The Church is true and the greatest thing in our life.  Be a great, enthusiastic missionary and remember your old buddy from the MTC and the great things we went through here.  I love you Elder, and expect to see you sometime in the future.

Go with God, my brother and have a great, enjoyable, fruitful mission.  Thanks again for your wonderful friendship.

Que Dios Te Bendiga,

Elder Gerald S. Nelson (Jerry)
