I Want To Be a Missionary Now



To My Dear Friend Nick Crump,
Today I had the honor of hearing you speak in my ward, and boy what a crowd you drew. Never have I heard a boy speak with such conviction as you did this afternoon. YOU ARE GOING TO BE AN AMAZING MISSIONARY.



Words cannot describe what an influence you have had on my life. Growing up just down the street from you I never pictured myself ever associating with you. But as time wore on, and like it always is, life was unpredictable. Last year I had the privilege of working with you and having you as my PLT dad. You loved me and accepted me and because of you and Lexi I was really comfortable in my skin for the first time. Because of you I was able to extend myself and reach new heights in my personal life. I know I have already told you thank you many times before, but thank you again for being such an amazing leader, friend and example. You loved me for me and never made me feel like an outcast. I would not be half the person I am today if it weren't for the time we spent together last year.



Now, remember as you are going on your mission, that you are a Son of our Heavenly Father, and he loves you. You have made some great decisions in your life and I believe that with the time you have left you will continue to make great decisions. However, the devil is a cunning man and will do what ever it takes to bring you down. DON'T LET HIM! You are too great a person and we need people like you to proclaim the good word of the gospel.



Nick, I love you with all my heart and I know these next two years will be the best two years of your life. Never forget us lowly kids who are waiting for you back home. Go and Do the Work! (:



Love Maegan Kasteler (:





p.s. this is just a little motivation as you are getting ready to leave (:
