Dear Chole,

Hey Hey Sis. It was nice to finally hear from the kids. Mom and Dad have been writing. I figured the rest of you had forgotten about me.

First, let me start off with your letters make me laugh, everytime you've written me (which has only happened twice). They always seem like inspirational letters and super deep. I know you may worry about me at times maybe. But I know that what I've been called to do is important. I know I need to take advantage of this time. I know that through prayer, God does answer us and he will always be here for me. I'm a BIG boy. I was ready to leave the house. I know that I may face times of discouragement and lonliness. But I doubt it. And I doubt it because I know what I'm sent here to do. I doubt it because I'm having the best time of my life right now. And I'm not even out on the field yet. The field is white Chole, it's ready to harvest. I will be thrusting with every ounce of physical and emotional strength I have. Because there is none greater blessing than bringing lost sheep unto the fold.

But let me get back to your letter Mom probably didn't cry because she doesn't love me :( I'm playing. That's good though. I wouldn't want you all to suffer through mom crying. Thanks for the prayer but I think I said it in another letter, don't just pray for me but pray for ALL missionaries. There are tens of thousands more that need the prayers more than me.

Anyway, I love the letters you send. I'm honestly shocked that you didn't say anything about baby KK. So next letter you send, make it personal, not inspirational.

P.S. If you get a chance and don't feel like writing or using stamps check out dearelder.com. Tell the family about it. This way I can get letters faster and it's free white I'm here at the MTC. Talk to dad about it. Also, my b-day is comin up. If you feel inspired to send something specia; I would love that.

I love you Chole. I hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Elder Corbeil
