Off To Guatemala

My little brother Tyler went into the missionary training center today in Provo Utah. Tyler will be there for 8 weeks learning Spanish and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He will learn how to teach others the gospel and most importantly to serve others.

We are so happy for this decision that Tyler has made to go and serve the Lord for two years. He will make a wonderful missionary and the people of Guatemala will love him. Its been hard to say good bye to him for all of us, but we will blessed by his service.
My parents are so proud of him, but this has probably been one of the most bitter-sweet moments of their lives. My mom has had children in her home for 41 years and Tyler was the baby. Mom and Dad are Tyler's best friends and they have such a close relationship. This has been hard for them to watch Tyler say his goodbyes as many, many tears have been shed. It will be a big adjustment for them over the next couple of months. They are wonderful parents and maybe this will give them the opportunity to travel more to see me!!!!
