Ok - so tonight Ryan pushed the button - the one that submitted his Mission Papers to the church. His availability date is December 17 - so anytime after that he could be sent - any where in the world. Last week he was set apart as an Elder in the Church - our whole family was there and it was a sweet spirit that accompanied the blessing. So..... why not start speculating? It seems as if most families hold a "where do you think he'll go?' contest - so why don't we! You can post your ideas here and we'll keep track of them. Ryan starts his freshman year at Brigham Young University - his major is Biology - and his minor - is keeping busy until he leaves for his mission! He has school and work and soon he'll add HOMEWORK - and HOURS OF BUS RIDING! Matt will also be commuting so it will be a great time for them to be together. I tell you - I'm really going to miss this kid - he's an amazing person. You won't find any finer than Ryan. When I can't find him - he's serving at the Bishop's Storehouse, signing up to clean the conference center, or getting his home teaching lesson ready (but he hates it if anyone knows that!)(that's what I love about him) I can't wait to see where his future will take him - he's prepared to go, and do, and serve the Lord in anyway he needs him. When he returns in 2 years - the sky is the limit. (Watch out for this one you BYU girls!) Let's see....passport, physicals, eye exams, missionary pictures, becoming an Elder, preparing for the temple and now pushing the button - I put him in the Lord's hands.

Nic: What a great mother you are! You should be ever so proud of your kids...you've done such a good job in showing them the right way to live their lives. And I'm proud to say that I can count you as my friend. Good luck to all of your family, but especially to Ryan, right now, in getting ready to serve. No matter where he goes, he'll be a great missionary, thanks to you, Nic. Love you, e
My guess:Indonesia.
Ryan's guess: Ireland.
We sure are proud of that little er-tall handsome guy.
Nicole! We are so glad you found us! You all look great!! Glad we can keep in touch!
