First Letter From Our Marine

Dear Family,
     This is Burkeley writing from boot camp.  This place is really hard.  Very mentally challenging.  Very exhausted mentally.  Wanted to just stop and go and hide.  But you cant.  Have to keep going.  Keep my hear up.  Its going to be very hard.  Keep me positive with letter writing.  Need you guys.  I love and miss you guys.  I might be able to be ordained in the priesthood here because they do that stuff.  I actually enjoy church now because it gets me away from all the crazy stuff.  Its my little break.  So be grateful fro what yo have because it could get stripped away.  Like now for me.  I'm greatful for you guys.  I'm grateful for this gospel.  It has already helped me tremendously these past few weeks.  I pray all day long till I fall asleep.  Praying has helped me so much.  I know Heavenly Father lives and loves me.  He has been watching over me this whole time.  Write me back.  I'll send letters every now and then.
Love You,
Burkeley

What a great letter! I think it might be interesting to see what the boys send in a letter back to him. :)
