My missionary brother!





Okay so I know I haven't updated in like 3 months and that's really horrible, but I swear it hasn't nothing to do with being busy...I am just really lazy. I am coming back to my blog with lots of information concerning my brother Daniel. He entered the MTC Wednesday afternoon. Hank and I picked him up from the Salt Lake Airport in the morning. Daniel was suppose to check in at 11:30 but Hank called the MTC and we figured a way he didn't have to go in until 1:30pm. So we went out to eat lunch at Olive Garden and then went to the Bean museum to kill time. It was fun but full of anticipation, nervousness and fear. We were all dreading the ticking minutes. We finally had to get to the MTC and you'll notice Daniel's suitcoat is a little off from his pants, this is because he didn't know he had to wear a suit. They had a little family presentation. I don't think Daniel or I paid much attention to the speakers, there was just too much anxiety to deal with. At the end we were directed to say goodbye and then the family would exit out one door and the missionaries would enter into another one. It was a pretty emotional good-bye but when Daniel finally escaped from my death grip he smiled and said "see ya later badu" as he skipped off through the missionary door. He looked so handsome!

I'm so glad you were able to get those pics of Dan right before he went in. Those are really precious. I'm glad that he seems to be doing well - and it sounds like his companion is a perfect match. Thank goodness for Hank, the MTC spy :) And thanks for posting this Leah.
