Jubilant.
This one word describes Elder Young's attitude towards life, God and missionary work.
Never have I met a missionary so enthusiastic and so happy as he. "Hey Sister Harris! Have you read your scriptures today?"
Elder Young, you will be sorely missed by all whose lives you touched. Your enthusiasm for the Gospel was contagious. You have changed my life in little ways... but we all know that through the small things come the greatest things of all.
Although you were unable to return to your earthly home, you will continue the work you started here, in your home on high. I believe, that somehow, you will play a role in the promises God made me through you. Promises that, in order to be fulfilled, will require miracles.
Thank-you for your love. Thank-you for your service.

If anyone knows how to get in touch with Elder Young's family I have a letter I would like to share with them. Thank-you!
