I have two brothers

And they're both awesome. And sometimes silly.



Brother1 is in Colorado now. He is in the Aurora Highlands area. This happens to be an area where most of the missionary lessons they teach are in Spanish. His companion only speaks limited English. Brother1 speaks some Spanish because he took several semesters in high school and converses with my dad (who is fluent in Spanish because of the mission he served to Venezuela back in the early 80s), but he isn't fluent, and he was technically called to be an English-speaking missionary. He'll be fine, though. If there is anyone who can be just fine in an area where he doesn't really speak the language, that person is Brother1. He's just good at that sort of thing. I couldn't be prouder of him!

Brother1 went into the MTC (Missionary Training Center. There are several in various parts of the world, but the main one is here in P-town, and that's where Brother1 went. The length of time you spend in the MTC is based on whether or not you learn a new language and on what that language is) at the beginning of October, so he and my dad flew out a couple of days early and stayed with me and Husband. It was so much fun to have them here! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures, and when I finally remembered it was right before we were leaving to drop Brother1 off at the MTC, and my battery was dead. Oops. But Brother1 took a bunch of pictures with his camera. He is allowed to email immediate family once a week, so hopefully he'll be able to send those to me soon.



And then there is Brother2. He's a funny kid. We had a little text message conversation today. I couldn't stop laughing.

Him: Hey sis do you know if they have byu sweatpants at the byu bookstore?
Me: I don't know, but I'd say it's likely.
Him: If they do that would be a good Christmas present.
Me: For you, you mean?
Him: You are exactly right.
Me: We'll see. I'll think about it. [That's because they might be rather expensive.]
Him: You should think about it.

They do, by the way. I checked.
