Sam Leaves For His Mission


Our whole family gathered at the San Francisco airport to see Sam off. He was about to get onto a big ol’ airplane and fly to Provo, Utah, to the MTC, where he would prepare for his mission to Bogota, Colombia. This was the only day I missed Seminary, and it was super hard for me. But what better reason to miss Seminary than to see your brother off on his mission, right?
