The Completion of the Second Beit Hamikdash

Imagine yourself living in Eretz Yisrael at the time of the completion of the Second Beit Hamikdash. Write a one paragraph letter to a cousin of yours still living in the Persian Empire at the time describing your feelings at being at the dedication of the Mikdash. Include the obstacles, challenges, hopes and disappointments that you went through as well as the prophecies of Chaggai and Zechariah and how they relate to the completion of the Mikdash.
