Farewell

Yesterday was my brother Travis' missionary farewell. He's so excited for his mission. He's going to Barcelona, Spain. It's going to be great for him. I couldn't believe how many people showed up for his farewell though. He is a great kid and loved by everyone. The whole chapel and the half of the gym was full. There were hardly any empty seats. It was great to see so many people to support him. His talk was great. It was about Joseph Smith and it put everyone in tears. I cried like a baby when he talked about me and my kids and how much he will miss us and how hard it will be to leave. They are going to change so much in the next 2 years while he is away. We are taking him to the MTC on Wednesday. It is going to be hard to give him one last hug and just leave. I'll miss him but I know that he is doing something good and he needs to be there. I'll be counting down the days til he comes home.
