So my little big brother Dallin left on his mission last week. It really is a very happy thing! I must admit though that I miss him like crazy and have shed a few tears missing him and thinking of how much will change in these 2 years. If I didn't know how great missions were personally and how it affected me, I may not have let him go. He is a pretty amazing kid and we have gotten quite close in the last year especially. Having big protective brothers is always a good feeling! :) I am so excited to see how he will grow and change with this experience. Texas sure is lucky to be getting something so great and they better realize it soon because we are sure missing him here!
We had lots of fun before he left though. All of my family got to spend the weekend before he left at my mom and dad's. He spoke in church that Sunday and did a great job. He is going to be a great teacher. Robert and I were able to go up the MTC to drop him off too. It was a very bitter sweet moment. Even just writing about it again now makes me what to cry and I am finding myself taking deep breaths and blinking rapidly!! :) Oh the joys of a mission. I am already excited for the weekly letters and the experiences that are on the way! Good Luck Dall! We will pray for you everyday!
