Little Brother--A Missionary

This is a picture of him in the airport getting
ready to leave for Brazil

I have the most amazing little brother! He is on his mission right now in Brazil. He comes home at the end of January and of course I am counting down the days. I haven't been the best at writing him while he has been gone for one reason or another, but I am sure he knows that I care. He and I are a lot alike in our self-expression. Really, we don't do it very well. So I know that he forgives me for not writing him as well as I should have. He has always been such a good example to me. I think of him as an anchor in the Gospel and I am glad that he is a part of my family. I can't wait to see him again. It'll be great!
