This week my family was down visiting me on there way from British Columbia to Provo, Utah to take my brother to the Missionary Training Center where my brother will learn Spanish and prepare to serve a mission in Ecuador.
Things did not go as planned though. My family was supposed to drive down to Utah on Wednesday but on Tuesday night my youngest sister who is 8 came down with the flu then the next day my dad, brother and other sisters all got sick. My mom luckily never caught it. They all ended up staying at the hotel an extra day to recuperate. Thursday they were kind of pressed for time and had to travel back home and were not able to take my brother down to Utah so he stayed with us and flew down to Salt Lake from Idaho Falls last night. I felt really bad for my family that they were not able to take him to Utah like they wanted to.
It was nice to spend some time with my brother though. It seems like he is really changing. He was very polite and appreciative when he was in my home. He thanked me for the meals I made him and he even helped me clean up. I was like wow is this really my brother. It will be interesting to see what he is like when he comes home in two years.
Horaayy..there are 2 comment(s) for me so far ;)
I’m sorry they didn’t get to drive him to the MTC and everyone was sick, but I’m glad you got to spend some time with your family. I have a brother coming back from his mission in Spain in 2 months, it’s so weird, I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years.
I’m so sorry to hear everyone was sick and things didn’t go as planned. But at least you got to see them and spend time with your brother. 2 years will go by fast! Look, Sariah’s almost 2.
