Justin's Big Send off!

Hey,
so this past week we sent Justin off on his Mission to The Colorado Denver North Mission. But we had to take him to the MTC first. and so this video is all about that!

I Hope that you guys Enjoyed it! he will make an amazing Missionary. Im proud to call him my brother.
If you wanna write him, the address is on the video description on YouTube, and while he is in the MTC you can Dear Elder him. just go to www.DearElder.com and make sure you put all the Mission info in correctly, and he will get it really quickly.

So, this whole week has been pretty good. Sunday Justin gave his Farewell Speech in church. And afterwards we had a Nacho Bar at the Town Hall in Menan. it was a really good time. lots of good food, and lots of family and friends came out to support! So if that is you, Thank You!

Monday Justin was set apart as a Missionary, and Riley and Layton were in town so they got to join us as we went to the Stake Center to meet with President Cook. that was a really awesome experience to stand in and be a part of setting Justin apart as a Full Time Missionary for the Church.,

Tuesday we left for Utah at about 2, on the way out, we stopped at the airport to see Travis come home from his mission! the first and only time in 4 years that Justin and Travis will see each other. that was pretty crazy to think about. They were both set apart missionaries, and one is leaving and the other coming home. That night we ate at some good ole Litza's Pizza, and I went and visited with Kelly.

Wednesday morning, Me and Justin woke up early and headed to the SLC Temple to do a session. it was really cool! the spirit was really strong, and I loved going to the temple with my brother. He is an incredible guy! As soon as we got out of the Temple we headed to the Church Office Building to see Grandma and Grandpa Hix, and where they are at serving their mission. They really LOVE what they do! and you can feel it when you talk to them. They are SO Happy there. We took the tour with them, and went over to the Joseph Smith Building for a Cinnamon roll! after we got back to G-pa & G-ma Franz' house I changed clothes and then Headed out! and that's where that video comes from ^^
After dropping him off we went back to Temple Square, and I got to hang out with Kelly for a little bit longer before we had to leave to come back to Idaho.

The rest of the week has been spent waiting for Justin to shoot us a letter or an Email, and today we finally got one from him. he said his P-Day is on Wednesday in the MTC, and that he will write us all back then. so be sure that you sit down and take a Minute to write him and let him know how you are doing, he would Love to hear from all of you!
Have a Great Week!

So as you know I returned in December from my mission to the Iowa Des Moines Mission. And since then have found the greatest girlfriend, have started college and made some good friends. All while helping my brother Justin prepare for his mission. He is a really awesome guy. I'm really grateful that I can call him my brother. He is a spiritual giant! Yesterday was his faretheewell speech, and he did great on it. Blew any talk I have ever given clean out of the water!! He's really going to make a great missionary. Justin, if you don't know, has been called to the Colorado Denver North Mission. And he leaves in just 2 days (wednesday June 13th). I wanted to write this post and just tell Justin how much I appreciate what he does and how he is. He is a great kid. And a great big brother! Thanks for being a great example to the rest of the family man. You'll be twice the missionary I was! Thanks again my brother!
