Stuart and I could never have prepared for our feelings and emotions today. We are filled with a sense of pride, happiness and unbelievable gratitude for Jake's service and sacrifice to the lord. On the other hand, we ache at the thought that we won't see him for 2 years. Stuart is having bigtime withdrawl not being able to text him and we both wish we could just be there to see his face each time he has a new, incredible experience. Our emotions are high, but there is no other place in the world that we would want him to be at this time. We love you Elder Nelson and can't wait to hear from you.
