Families Can Be Together Forever

Fleming Island/Orange Park
Dear Family~

I don't have much time today and I so wish I had more...but please tell Uncle Mike and Aunt Jenni congratulations on their newest daughter. She is beautiful. Thank you for the pictures. As far as missionary work goes, I am continuing as a District Leader, but am also now a trainer of a new missionary, Elder Kiracofe. He is from Spanish Fork. A wonderful missionary and a great example: I am happy to serve with him. I hope that I can share with him everything I have learned thus far on my mission and give him a great head start to the marvelous work he has just begun. I know he will do well!

These past few weeks there are few things I have thought of more than each of you. I know the time is short that I will return home. Nevertheless, I understand there is much work left for me to do, but I do miss you and I do love you--each of you. I noticed something interesting the other day, that of all the major Church proclamations, the Living Christ and The Family: A Proclamation to the World, stand foremost. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has two great testimonies to share with the world: that Jesus is the Christ and that families can be together forever. There is no more important thing in this world than family. There is no more important thing in this world to me than my family.

I wish I had more time to write, but I am out of time today. Please know that I love you and that I am grateful beyond all things to be a part of our family. I am grateful for everything that each of you do to help bring us closer together. I am grateful for your love and your support. I want to be with each of you forever and I know that through the Savior we can.
I love all of you.
Love~
Austin
