My Dear Grandson, your focus is true and vitality strong. As you approach the conclusion of your Mérida mission, perhaps some words from my track coach might be appropriate. He said: "Run beyond the finish line about ten yards." More than one race has been lost because the runner slowed down before the finish line. I know you will finish strong. May you be blessed and all those in your mission area. I love you more! Grandpa
