Jamie and Carlee's Farewell

Two of my sisters are leaving for missions! Carlee entered the MTC on February 18th. She is going to serve in the Chile Osorno Mission. Jamie will go to the MTC on April 1st. She will be serving in the Guatamale Guatamale City Mission. Jamie is also a RN (registered nurse) and part of her mission call includes being a medical technican. We are all going to miss them, especially Lily. She loves having sleepovers, painting nails, and just being with both of them. Our family size will be cut by 1/3 and when my brother leaves for his mission this winter our family size will be cut in half! Three missionary siblings out at the same time is pretty rare! Even though we are going to miss them, we are so glad that they are serving the Lord and spreading the gospel. Their example of service is wonderful! They get to learn Spanish and explore beautiful lands. Sometimes I wish I could just leave on a mission right now myself, but I think I'll have to wait until Kenny and I are older. I truly look forward to serving a couple mission later in life.

The day before Carlee left for the MTC; our last adios for awhile!

I seen that in the paper I can't believe both the girls are going around the same time. They are going to be a great example for everyone. I hope time will fly by!
