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)

A Letter From Elder Ostler
Elder Christensen,
What can I say to such a great missionary and friend. I can honestly say that I have developed a love for you that is going to last a lifetime. I have really felt and partaken from your spirit. Your testimony is strong and shows. But not just that because I know without a doubt that as you continue on this same missionary path that you've portrayed, you are going to not just be a good missionary, but you're going to be a great missionary. I want you to know that I have grown spiritually because of your great spirit.
Know also that I love this great work with all my heart and I am going to work with all my heart.
If, for some reason, we never meet again in this life, there is no doubt but that we'll see each other again in the Celestial room of our Father's mansions.
Con gran amor,
Elder Dale Anthony Ostler
