We dropped off my brother at the MTC today and can I just say, Abel will be missed but my heart is filled with gladness and testimony when I think of the good he will do, particularly in these next two years.
Abel is serving an important calling, and I know that he realizes this. For this reason, I can say with certainty that he will be an awesome missionary.
It is an emotional moment when your brother walks away and heads to do the Lord's work with suitcases in his hands and countless men walking along side him, in the same image. All I did was muster a smile through dripping tears, but I am very thankful to no end that he is leaving to do the Lord's work and I know that tonight, and for many nights to come, he has dedicated himself to the work. What more could I, a younger sister who dearly loves her brother, ask for?
Thank you Abel, for your example.
God be with you til we meet again.
