I never thought I would have two of my children leave for missions on exactly the same day - Dec 2, 2015. Even though I would like to keep them safe and close to me forever, I am thankful for the good kids they are, and for the choice they both made to serve missions!
Aubrey's mission picture.
Breck's mission picture.
Breck opening his mission call (Brittney is watching via Facetime on Brad's phone).
I love Merinda's reaction.
I guess the smile on Breck's face means he is okay learning Spanish and serving for the next two years in the Argentina Rosario Mission.
Aubrey opening her mission call.
This time, Brad has the best reaction.
It took Aubrey a little time, but she now feels good about brushing up on her Spanish and serving in the Chile Concepcion Mission for the next 18 months.
These two are destined to be together, but the Lord also knows space is good, so Breck will report to the Mission Training Center in Provo, Utah and Aubrey will report to the Mission Training Center in Mexico.
I'm okay with these dirty hands and faces - a testament to their dedication by working long, hard hours in a filthy warehouse, earning all the money for their missions themselves.
Breck's good friend Kirsten has been a great support to him, even though she is not Mormon.
Breck's buddies from church, Garren Allen and Josiah Charles.
Breck's Priesthood leader, Thoney Charles (with his youngest son Jared). We are grateful to all the kid's teachers and friends who have been such great examples!!!
