JACOB!!!
I love you! Be safe in your trips to different states tomorrow. Remember, I want to hear all the details of companionships and mission presidents and mission home, and first restaurant you go to in Pittsburgh, what your first area is, and every little thing.
I won't be there when you call tomorrow because I'm going to be in Disneyland. I think that's a good enough reason. I want you to know that I wish I could be there.
I heard this quote today by Elder Holland: Salvation is NOT a cheap experience. I'm sure you've heard it, if not the talk is in the March 2001 Ensign. Elder Holland is talking to the missionaries about why things are so hard. But it is okay if they are hard, because their investigators and less active members are making HUGE commitments to the Gospel.
Like I've said in previous letters: Relish your new experiences. MTC is over, the Field is White Already to Harvest. YOLO!
Love you,
John
