Today we took Matt's youngest brother Wesley to the MTC (Missionary Training Center). He has been called to serve as a missionary in the Salt Lake City, UT mission, speaking Spanish and will serve for 2 years. He flew in last night and Matt picked him up and took him to dinner. Then they stopped to see some aunts/uncle on the way home and had a good visit with family. They got home about 10:00p.m. and after changing out of his suit, Wesley and Matt played a mean game of HORSE (basketball) and Matt barely beat Wesley. They said the loser had to go on a mission so I'm glad Matt won or I would have really missed him. :-) This morning Wes got up at 6:30 since he is already
set apart as a missionary, but I know that was really hard for him since the past year at college his average bedtime was between 1:00-3:00am. Guess he better get used to the "early to bed, early to rise", huh? We went and saw his grandpa's grave which is in Spanish Fork, and then he had to report to the MTC at 12:00pm. We took TJ with us but luckily we were able to leave Cooper here. It was great to be there and to feel the spirit of all those missionaries and their excitment to share the gospel. After we dropped Wes off we went to Zupa's for lunch and just enjoyed the afternoon together. We'll miss Wesley while he's gone but we know that he will be a wonderful servant of the Lord, and we are glad our boys have such great examples in their uncles.

What a neat experience for all of you. I'm glad you took TJ - I bet it will leave a positive impression on him!
Nope!! I absolutely do not believe that is little Wesley!!!???? I think the last time I saw him was when we went to the schaumburgs flyers game with Matt's family .... years ago!! He was a little guy then! How exciting he is on his mission!!
