two weeks ago today, wilson. my little brother was suppose to enter the MTC. three and half weeks ago, we got word that his time in the MTC was going to be shortened from nine weeks to six. they could not send his group of missionaries to the philippines early because of visas and that jazz. so they are taking the three weeks off at the beginning, hence he is still with us. for our family, especially my mother is was like tearing off a bandage with your flesh and replacing it with another one just be ripped of again. i on the other am sad that hes going. but im excited for him. this could be rude but im more excited to see my sister this week for only two days. since my older brother left on his mission in the summer of 2000 its hasnt been the six of us since. yeah my sister comes up to visit but she brings the boys, so its like the six us together again but its not really "the six" of us. so i am very excited for this weekend. i know it will go quickly. and before i know it. like when nathan left on his mission i will be having to get used to a new adjustment. im not going to have someone there who understands me, im not going to be getting the best hugs (sorry mom), im not going to have that someone that stands up for me and helps me defend myself. im not going to have someone keep me updated on music. things that i will have to get used to not for the next two years, but for the rest of my life...
