My “little” cousin (not so little anymore!) left on his 2-year LDS service mission to Brazil last month. Hard to believe that I actually have memories of holding him in my arms as a 6 year old. I also have a shiny scar on the top of my left foot from where he ran over me with a mini John Deere tractor. Despite all the stitches I wound up with from that experience I love him anyway!
