This letter won't be able to sufficiently express my gratitude for you but I'll do my best. This is the THIRD birthday of yours that I haven't been home for... wow. But I"ll be sure to give you a giant hug when I see you to make up for it.
I love you Dad. You motivated and inspired me to go on a mission. The way that you talked about your mission, with affection, encouraged me to take the step of faith and leave on a mission. You also showed me in your example, that your mission had truly changed you. I wanted that same change. I left on my mission without a testimony. I had always depended on yours and mom's. But in the MTC and throughout my mission I have truly begun to experience and use the gospel in my live and in the lives of others and it has changed me. But none of this would have happened without you so I just want to say thank you and that I will be eternaly grateful for all that you have done for me. Ahora entiendo que esto no es el fin, que es el principio. Voy a ocupar mucho de sus consejos para guiarme en esta vida. Tengo muchas metas y cosas que quiero lograr pero voy a ocupar su experiencia. Te amo y estoy animado para verte!!!!
