A family threw him a going away party when he got transferred, complete with cake..
Another family’s cat had kittens and they named this one after D….I can see the resemblance
1. He loves his red hair (as much as I do)
2. He is an amazing brother. All 4 siblings adore him too.
3. He is crazy creative.
4. He decided he wanted to improve his piano skills the month before leaving and totally dedicated himself to it. (he took 3 years lessons but RARELY practiced) If you have the patience to let this video download, takes a couple minutes, you can see his progress: D the piano man It’s only 1 minute long
5. He is a great storyteller.
6. He can always make me laugh

11. We’ve had some great philosophical discussions.

14. He is as enthusiastic about others success as well as his own.
15. He was a pleasure to raise as a teenager.
16. He truly wants to be a good father and husband.
17. He has the cutest dimples.
18. He has a huge genuine smile.
19. He learns from his mistakes.
20. He is dedicating his life to serving God and the people of New York for two years.
You have lots to be proud of!
Being a cat lover, I have discovered that the red tabby cats have the friendliest personalities and are the most laid back.
Those pictures are great! I wish we lived closer so our kids could know each other better. You have a great family!
We love it when we can read his e-mails. We pray for him and for Braidan and now Kari, each day, along with all the other missionaries around the world. The excitement generated by the reduction in age when missionaries can be called has really stirred up the potential missionary pool. When Isaiah prophesied the people would be taught and led “by a little child” seems to be coming closer and closer to fruition. The energy and potential power of well-trained young people make me want to be out in the field, observing, supporting, and helping them. That is something Clarissa and I are seriously considering. We’ll see how our health holds up and/or improves–and how easily our affairs come together, permitting us to serve. Not a small challenge for 76-year-olds. I don’t even know if we would be called at our age. In any case, we’re proud of our missionary posterity–and all the others, as well.
Those are great pictures! I never realized how blue his eyes are and how golden red is his hair! You picked 20 truths about that boy!
He’s so great! He’ll be home before you know it!
Love you!
