Letter to Mom—written Oct. 13,1012

Hey Mom,

So I've got a minute to write while Elder T. is typing up some stuff for his final interview. I'm really sorry I haven't ever written a ton throughout my mission, but you know that I love you right?

Well mom, I just wanted to write you and tell you once more how grateful I am for you and all that you have done for me. Now having met and known so many people and so many families it has just assured me that you are in fact, the perfect mom. I know I've said it so many times before, but I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you. You have taught me so much. There's not a day that goes by that I don't recognize something that you have taught me that has helped me throughout my life. Thank you Mom. I love you so much. In just three short months I'll be able to give you a big huge hug and tell you how thankful I am in person, and I promise I'll give you a big old foot rub too. Ha ha! But until then, I'm enjoying Guatemala! Sorry it's not too long of a letter but I've gotta get going. We've gotta go teach G. and her family!

Con amor,

Elder Welch
