This is an excerp from Jordans letter today.  I can't tell you how happy this makes me.  I am on cloud nine.
"It seems like just last week i was packing my bags up in my room and making the decission to go on a mission. I am so glad i pulled through. Things have just worked out for me. Feelings of inadaquacy were present; now they are turning into skills and talents. One of my favorite scriptures is proverbs 3:5-6 "trust in the lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understandings, in all ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths". I have tried to stick to that through my mission."
