It was nearly two months ago that Gavin recieved his Mission Call. It seemed that those two months he had to prepare would pass slowly, and that I had forever to say my goodbyes. I couldn't have been more wrong. Those eight short weeks passed before my eyes, and the next thing I knew, it was time for that final goodbye. On Sunday, He gave an amazing talk, filled with the spirit and an incredible testimony that touched me like I've never been touched before. And then, With the support of his many friends and family members, we sent him off yesterday. It was an emotional day. Singing the familiar hymn, "Called To Serve," in a room filled with newly set-apart missionaries and their family members, filled me with the spirit so much. It was so special to share that day with Gavin. Then the time came to say our goodbyes. Of course, everyone's eyes were filled with tears as we gave our final hugs and watched him leave through the 'missionary' exit. I'm so proud to have Gavin as a brother. He will be a wonderful missionary, and will bring the gospel unto those seeking it in Florida.
