Off to a mission

My little brother put in his papers and he was called to serve in the North Quito, Ecuador mission. After a big ordeals, for when he left he forgot to get our e-mail addresses and we couldn't communicate with him, we finally got some news.

He arrived at Colombia on July 23rd and moved back to Quito after 3 weeks. He is now serving in Quito and is really excited about the work.

I am so very proud of my brother, for we know how important missionary work is. I always think if it wasn't for two young kids, Elder Mickelsen and Elder Schaucher, just like my brother, who happened to be walking to their apartments one July night in Brooklyn, I wouldn't be here today and enjoying the family i have.

I often think my brother like the little boy of 11 I left in Guayaquil 8 years ago, but looking at this picture now i can see the great young man that he has become.

I am so happy for the blessings that he will receive by helping others and for the experiences and memories this mission will bring into his life

Return with Honor Julito!!!
