Baby Brother

I have always wanted to do a post on my little brother Jay. He is serving an LDS mission in Montevideo, Uruguay. He comes home this November and I am so excited to see him. He is doing such a great job as a missionary there. I read his letters every week and laugh, cry, or whatever. He tells good stories. He is a great influence on the people he is serving. He is awesome!
I'm the oldest of 6 kids. 3 girls, 3 boys. Jay was the last one to come 6 years after my sister, Melinda.
He was still a Senior in High School when my Dad passed away. I worried that he would be messed up.
You know, sometimes kids go off the deep end when they lose a parent or loved one. I know many that have. Not Jay. He is so strong and I'm so proud of him. I miss him. However, when he gets back, he will be coming up to Utah to go to BYU. I can't wait!
Here are some cute pics he sent with his last letter.

Jay with one of his companions. Jay is the taller one.


I think this is Jay with a previous comp. who got injured pretty bad when doing a service project.

I can't wait until he gets home too! He's such a stud of a brother and has a sick (said in his voice) personality.
