"The Catholic Church is the fastest growing church in Chile....or at least until I get there."
My brother-in-law Adam said this in his farewell talk on Sunday...
We all died.
What an awesome kid.
Adam was called to serve in the Santiago, Chile mission for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
He left for the Missionary Training Center in Mexico on Wednesday.
(talk about being immersed in the language)
Adam is such an awesome kid.
I have only known him for almost 3 years, but I am proud to call him family.
What a
resilient
funny
tough
dedicated
picky eater
family oriented
optimistic dude
Lily was able to say her goodbyes, too
Mark's family is extremely competitive.
So it is a good thing I am not too far behind them in that respect.
Adam and me have been battling in tennis whenever we all get together because we are about the same skill level.
During his farewell talk, Adam made sure to state (clearly knowing that though I lost the day before, but we had a match Monday end on) "It looks like I'll be holding the tennis belt from Shannah for 2 years!"
-_-
Don't worry, I beat him.
In that picture I made sure to say, "say I love losing at tennis!"
I am so grateful for the gospel and for Mark's family and how kind, supportive, hilarious, spiritual, competitive, and loving they are.
I know this one will take all of those traits to Chile with him.
That's cool that your brother was called to serve in the Santiago. My one was studding in seminary but he had no chance to graduate.
