My oldest nephew, Amy's 1st son, is finally 19. Even though the rule of going on mission when your 18 just changed, James was the oldest in his class and was going to be 19 right after he graduated. Either way, we knew his whole life he'd leave right after high school....literally! He turned 19 June 2nd. He was called to the Billings Montana mission and was so excited! This man seriously has prepared for a mission his whole life. It's what he's thought about since he was old enough to know what a mission was. He is the first to go on a mission from his dad's side of the family, so it's a pretty big deal.
He spoke July 14th in Kanab, and left July 24th to the MTC. He didn't shed a single tear because he just wanted to go and serve. So here's our last pic with him before he left.
His luncheon after church was at the park and Dawson was in his glory! He's a little monkey and loves to take chances climbing on things that look challenging.
Here's Daxon.... he too is a monkey. lol!
Jessi is such a little mother. She takes care of Mckynlee without question whenever Jori's around. Mckynlee loves Jessi so much. Jessi never complains, she just immediately takes Mckynlee and you don't even have to worry for hours.
We are so proud of James for choosing to go and serve the Lord. He is going to be an amazing missionary.... I doubt we even hear from him until he's back because he's so dedicated. We will miss him a lot!
