My little brother Dallin got his mission call today. Kind of had mixed emotions about this. For months i have been "counting down the days" 'til Dallin could leave. Well, THE CALL came today in the mail. He opened it at 6:52 as heard him reading the letter from our dear Prophet and the missionary dept of our church i couldn't help but cry. He is such a great example to us.
Elder Dallin Grant Martin, you have been chosen to serve the Lord in the.......Dallas Texas mission. You will be reporting the MTC on August 13th 2008. Yeah August 13th, folks he is leaving 2 months from Friday. WOW!! This just hit me, the boy i use to fight with, the boy that i use to make play "pioneer" with me is leaving for 2 years. 2 WHOLE YEARS!!
I will miss this kid like crazy!! Love him to death and so grateful for the example he is to me!!

WOW...Texas is AWESOME. Congrats to Dallin...when are we doing those pics?
I totally feel you on the TWO WHOLE YEARS thing, Ash. It's so weird. It seems to stretch out for a long, long time. And yet at the same time, it goes by pretty face. Think about it: David will be home in about four months. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, and at the same time it's been a very, very long two years. You'll miss Dallin like crazy--we all will--but he's gonna be back before you know it! And he probably won't get shot. haha
Kinda bummed.. gonna miss this kid by like... three dayz! yikes.
