Elder

Yesterday was my cousins farewell. Again. He gave a talk a few weeks ago, but because of trouble with his visa he was delayed a month. He has been called to the South Dakota Mission and will report to the MTC in a couple weeks. Its quite amazing that this time has finaly come. All through High School he was determined to go on a mission, despite ridicule from classmates and teachers. But of course non of that ever bothered Him. I am proud of him for accomplishing his goal (thus far) and i know that he will be a great Missionary. This is a photo of us together at our Graduation. We managed to not argue as much in grade 12, and in some ways we were close. Not in the Best friend sort of way, but we had similar struggles and challenges. Being one of the few members of the church in our school, and having to do things on our own sometimes wasnt always easy. Nontheless we made it. And i am sure we were both VERY happy in this picture to finaly leave that all behind and go on to bigger and better things. I am thankful for him and his example. Good Luck! I know you will be great!

See you in 2 years
