Last Thursday my brother Dan left for the Preston, London MTC. We have received one email from his mission president letting us know that he had made it safely. We are excited for Wednesday when he will be able to email us.
The last couple of weeks we have been spending as much time with my family as we could, before he left. Bob and Dan have been painting the apartment downstairs and doing yard work at my parents house almost everyday. And then at night we would get together for dinner and games.
Last Wednesday we had a nice dinner with our family and Dan's friends before he was set apart. My mom cooked an amazing meal of grilled chicken and smoked ribs. It was fun to have Dan's friends over for dinner. All 3 of them will be leaving for their missions within the next couple months.
I was a little emotional the whole night, but once I said goodbye and left I was just fine. I know that my brother is doing a great thing. I am so impressed with him and his dedication to serve the people of London for the next two years.
The siblings together one last time!
