Hey Mom and Dad,
Well this week has been fantastic, the work is really going great. This work is so great, I love it so much. This gospel has changed my life and helped me understand my relationship with my Father in Heaven.  I really do know that Jesus is the Christ and that he will forgive all that believe in him and come before him with a humble heart.
I have a great peace in my heart because of the many blessings that I have received.  I know that success really does come through obedience.  I love these people, I wish I could serve them forever; they are the greatest people here on earth.  But I know that I have a mission and that is to help those that have gone off from the straight and narrow path.  I know this is the time and there is no other time, we must work fast for the time speedily cometh when He shall come. I know that we have a living prophet that receives revelation and speaks with God.
I just want to thank you for your help and your testimonies that you share with me. They give me strength and inspiration. I love God and I love his plan.  I know that the book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and that that a man will grow closer to God by reading it.
Well on the other hand yes of course I am excited to see all of you but I am still a missionary and I know that I still can help God in this great work.
I don't think I will need any more money maybe about ten dollars or so but that’s about it.
I don't really want to talk about me going home but I would really appreciate it if you could get me to a doctor when I get home for my back.
Well I love you guys much. I bought little souvenirs for you.  I hope you like them.  I love you all much. Continue to pray and read always.
I love you all much.
I’m not sure if we’re able to email next week or not.
Elder Young
