Just a thought or two...

[Editor's note: I thought I'd share a few quick lines from one of Elder Simons' handwritten letters.  It turns out, he has been an awesome letter-writer!  Who knew?!]

It is cool being in a group of guys all with one purpose.  Man, I love that I'm on a mission!  It makes me happy.  Sure, sometimes it is hard, but it's great!

Still the same funny kid...

 
Mom, remember when I told you I looked in the mirror and I could see myself looking like Dad more and more?  It happens a lot here.  Even with things I say or do.  It's a cool thing.  I would love to be like him one day.
