Dustins Last Day...

Saying that it was easy to let my little brother go into the MTC, would be a vast understatement. I am so proud of the choices he has made leading up to this point in his life and the biggest decision he has made thus far to serve a mission and serve our wonderful church and teach the gospel to the many people of Argentina. But letting him go was a lot harder than I had ever imagined it would be. So to send him out with a bang we Josh and I spent the whole day before he left with him!! Joey came along for a little bowling adventure we had in the morning and was able to say goodbye to him before he had to leave for work. We bowled and bowled and bowled some more!! If you didn't know we love to "ROLL"!! And believe it or not (you have to believe it cuz i have proof) we all broke a hundred the first game we bowled!! For me that is a real accomplishment!! Once we were done with bowling we headed over to the mall, got Dustin some sweet Nike's for his mish and then ate some yummy ice cream :) perfect way to end the day right?? WRONG!! We got home and our wonderful mommy had made Dustin's favorite dinner, almond roast beef, and Courtney came over for what Dustin called his "last supper". Once the food settled and Courtney left the blankets came out of the cupboard and the duct tape came out of the drawer, furniture was moved, chairs were positioned just right... you guessed it we built a FORT!! It goes without saying it was our best one yet! I guess you really do get better at things with age because this fort was massive.. it took up my parents whole basement living room! When we finished the fort we climbed inside got comfortable and sat talking with each other for a while before we all slowly started to fall asleep, for tomorrow was the big day. We took Dustin to the MTC around 12, hung out at the Provo temple and took some pictures before actually dropping him off. Once we got to the MTC we had as much time to say goodbye as we had time to pull his luggage out of the trunk :( everyone got hugs and kisses and a wave goodbye then he was gone. Best of luck to you little bro, see you in two years. Enjoy Argentina, and remember your always in my prayers...
