and he is off to russia!

well actually just the mtc... but you know what i mean. anyways as you all remember my brother was called to serve in the novosibirsk russia mission and left last week for the mtc! it still is so crazy to think my crazy little brother is going to be in russia for 2 years! anyways... before he left we were able to spend some time with him.

on friday nate stayed at our house until one that morning. he played with king and luna and also played some tiger woods golf with me and tony. our puppies will be huge when he gets back!
playing with the laser pointer... they love it!

tony got nate hooked on tiger woods golf

 

then on monday my dad took us all golfing again! nate had a few pars and a few almost birdies which he was happy with for his last round of golf for 2 years. thanks again dad for taking us!

tuesday night nate got set apart as a missionary. my mom invited us over for some dinner and doughnuts! pres critchlow gave nate a wonderful blessing and it just further confirms my belief that nate is amazing and going to do great things, not only on his mission but in the future too.

i know i've said it before but i know my brother will be an amazing missionary and i know the people of russia will love him! we are both going to miss him but know that he is doing the Lord's work and we are so excited to see what he will accomplish there.

 and just to end this post... here is my favorite picture of me and my brother taken at mine and tony's wedding!
