This post is all about my younger brother Parker.
He received his mission call in June to serve in the Argentina Cordoba Mission!
He has been so excited and has been very busy getting ready to go.
His farewell was Sunday August 9th. He gave a really great talk and it was so much fun to have friends and family all together.
He just entered the MTC on Wednesday August 12th.

Parker has been such a fun uncle to Max. When I was at the hospital in labor, Parker was there the entire time. He was so excited for Max to come. He came up to see him everyday. Max will be 2 years and 4 months old when they see eachother again.
Missions seem like such a sacrifice, but are so wonderful that they really aren't much of a sacrifice at all! I think it's harder for the people left behind than for the missionary.
I'm so excited for Parker and all the amazing experiences that lay ahead for him.
I love my brother and will miss him so much!
We are all so proud of him and his decision to serve a mission.
He will be the greatest missionary Argentina has seen :-)
