Caleb and Jacob:
I hope you have a good week this upcoming week.
Jacob - go easy on yourself this week. Take the scriptural admonition that man should not run faster than he has strength. You're a smart young man and I expect you'll make good decisions as relating to your body for the next several weeks. Please take the MRI seriously. The growth on your liver may be benign but please make absolutely certain of that is the case. I'm not happy that they didn't take a biopsy while they were inside the abdominal cavity for the appendectomy. Get to the bottom of it and keep asking questions until you're satisfied. When you are satisfied, please communicate your findings back to me. If you feel like you're not yourself due to medication, let me know and I'll get to the bottom of it.
Caleb - The end is nigh and upon you. Your mission is a type of your life. When you approach the end, you look back and consider all that has happened. Are there things you could've done better? Certainly. Are there things that you've accomplished that you're proud of? Certainly. Judging from your letters, I believe that the Holy Ghost has sanctified you and your efforts. This is a "golden sliver of time" in your life when all things are set "at one". Of course you recognize that "at one" is the root of the word "atonement". Relish this time. Write down your thoughts and feelings and treasure them up for a future day. Charge until the end.
Both of you, have a great week. Be the best you can be. Remember that I love you; we all love you and are praying for your success.
Dad
