So, in my last post, I didn’t get to mention that my not-so-little baby brother left for a mission for the LDS Church last Wednesday.

He will be in the Missionary Training Center (MTC) at Provo, Utah, for about 7 more weeks before flying out to his final missionary destination, in FIJI. Yes, you read that right. FIJI- island in the south pacific. Is this work, or a vacation in disguise?

I’m incredibly proud of Jacob, and I know he will put his heart and soul into what he will be doing in Fiji. I also think it’s neat that he’ll get to learn Fijian.  I’ll miss conversing with him on the phone as often, but he’s going to be doing a lot of good things for the people of Fiji, and I’m sure he will learn a lot from the experiences.

Good luck, Elder! You are awesome.
