You young men are taking on greater ventures and adventures than any that we’ve ever known personally. It ranks in our minds as equal to those of Marco Polo! We keep you in our thoughts and prayers, and talk about you to any who show interest. At some point following your return, you might consider exactly how to pass it all on in some literary or dramatic way. It all challenges our minds just to try to encompass it all.

Thank you so much. Yeah it has been an incredible experience. I was thinking perhaps a memoir or short novel.
