One week from today, Sam will be gone on his mission! I can't believe it's already here! He's speaking on Sunday. Then he is getting set apart on Wednesday night (by my dad) and then Thursday morning at like 10:05, he will be on a plane to England!
Sam, I just want you to know how proud I am of you. You have been a great little brother and have always been such fun. Sure you have had your moments, just like everyone, but I've had fun watching you grow up. I could always count on you to update me on the score of a game, the stats on the Utes, or any sports fact from the past. I hope you will survive the next two years without a ball attached to you! Good luck and don't forget to focus and follow the counsel of your mission president. I know Cameron is going to miss you and so am I! I LOVE YOU SAM!!!

Sam's Mission Scripture - Helaman 5:12
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
