phoenix, arizona.

that's right.

phoenix, arizona is where this great guy will be for the next two years of his life starting february 1st.

i am so proud of this kid.

and he is such a great example to all of us.

 

this was a bittersweet moment for both mel and i though.

saying goodbye to missionaries is hard.

especially when you spend every day with them like we do with these boys.

so here is mel and i,

one down, three to go.

and in case you were wondering who is next,

it's this kid.

i think he told us last night it's about 72ish days until he gets his call in the mail.

i'm so proud of these boys for the examples they are to me.

mark, you are amazing and you will be fabulous.

the people in arizona are so lucky to have you and i know that they will love you just as much as we do here.

those two and their man love.

such gems.

and now i'm going to end this post with my new favorite picture of all time.

this is why i know he will be such a great missionary.

just look at the pure joy in his face.

i love you mark!
