God be with you till we meet again...

I am not sure why they sing this song at the end of every farwell in church. It just makes everyone cry a lot. I mean don't get me wrong I love this song and wouldn't have it any other way, but it's just so sad. I can't even get out two lines without tearing up.

Last week I went home to Danville to see one of my good friends, Jacob Bromley, leave for South Carolina on his two year mission. It is so crazy that all my guys friends are leaving. Am I really this old? I thought only old boys went on missions. haha. Anyway Jake's farwell was really nice and his talk was perfectly done. I did really well with my emotions until we sang that song. Jake is going to be a great missionary. All my guy friends are!

Josh Clark just left a couple weeks ago for Madagascar! I know what you're thinking..."I like to move it, move it!" Thats the first thing I thought when he told me he was going there. Josh will be a hit there and everyone is going to love him. Ben Wilson is going to Arizona. Ben will be the best at memorizing and anwsering any questions people have about the church. Since we were in kindergarden, Ben has known every single sunday school question there is. He amazes us all with his knowledge of the scriptures! Austin Hall is going to Chili! Austin is a great kid and is perfect at everything he trys. He is going to be awesome out there! Shmike just turned in his papers so we will see what great land is in store for him! I already know Shmike is going to be the best missionary. He has such a way with people. Wherever he goes, people will just flock to him and hang on his every word. I am so proud of all my missionary friends! They are such great friends and great guys! Good luck and God be with you till we meet again!

Here is a few pictures of my friends and I with Jake before he left.
