Goodbye Elder Jakie!

WOW! That is all I can say right now. Time flies. Where did time go? Last Sunday was little Jakie's farewell....wait sorry not little. He's 6'2", towers a foot taller than me, but I think I've imagined him as little Jakie my whole life..there will be a lot of getting used to. I don't know where time has gone! Suddenly I'm 20 years old, going into my third year of college, finally growing into who I would like to be, trying to find my one and only, and doing nothing but work...crazyness. So anyways, it is soon to be ELDER Osterloh. He spoke about the Holy Ghost, mentioning the non forgetable story about his horror ride in the dune buggy with, let's call them, "Mo" and "Uncle Craig". Of course he mentions our family and how much he is going to miss the "Osterloh parties". He thanked my grandpa, thanking him for giving him new articles to read, held together by a paperclip about the most random things. Told my grandma that she was the coolest cause she golfed and that if anyone thought they could beat her that they shouldn't waste their time cause they would lose. He told missy, "the princess", that she would be an amazing mom and that he couldn't wait to come home and be the best uncle, and I just lost it. He got emotional, I got emotional, I looked back....everyone got emotional. So thank you Jake. You made the whole Osterloh family cry. We will miss your goofy personality but know that you are loved and supported back home. You will be an amazing missionary because of the light that you have for this church and others around you. There truly is something special about you and how you are able to become friends with everyone. Two years into the future and all the little cousins will be back, huddling around Jake listening to his words of wisdom. Mostly about boys or rambling about something somewhat exciting about a past Churchill teacher that the girls are now experiencing. He's the last Osterloh boy to go. Represent us well. We love you!! See you in two.

One of a kind.

I got to spend the day with these little kiddies.





He's a ladies man.



BYE JAKIE!!
