Yesterday I had to tell my brother goodbye for 2 whole years!!! I will miss him so so much!!!! Since I got married I have gotten closer to Hayden!! Gone are the days of breaking his arms or forcing him to throw his hands threw windows, and then telling him to grow up and stop crying!! Yes I was a horrible sister!! But luckily he and Jared hit it off from the beginning. They liked so many things the same. And they both finally had a brother to do them all with!! Paint ball, air-soft, video games, cars, motorcycles, etc. We spent many weekends with Hayden at our house, laughing until I cried, wishing he could stay longer. Jared had to say goodbye to Hayden on Sunday since he wouldn't be able to make it back down on Tuesday for his setting apart. It was hard for me to watch them hug goodbye, they were just such good friends. Hayden has always been very close to the spirit, and very emotional, especially when it comes to our mom!! He has a great testimony, and amazing hugs!!! I cried a lot when I had to tell him goodbye, a lot for me, but more for Saylor. What a different person she will be when he comes back. This last month she has had a little problem with him because he makes her mind, which I am happy about, but she isn't. Soon Hayden became the monster at our house that hurt people, and when anything went wrong, it must be Hayden even when he hadn't been at our house for weeks!! I am hoping time will heal her wounds, and she will realize how lucky she is to have such an amazing uncle, example, and friend!!! I really cant believe my only little brother is old enough to go on a mission, the people of Canada are very lucky, they will have no choice but to feel the love of the Savior through the amazing Elder Finch!!!!

Good luck to Elder Finch! Now that we're on the other side with Robert it really went to quickly and it is the best to read their letters every week!
Hooray for Elder Finch. I can't believe it is already time for him to go. We will miss our funny run-in's around Payson.
That is so hard! But when it is time for him to come home you will look back say that it went bye so fast!
Oh. I am sorry. I had a similar experience with my brother. He lived with us just before his mission and I was so sad to see him leave. He will come home and when he does he will be even a better person.
He will do an amazing job! The two years will go by so fast! :)
That was a really great tribute to Hayden, Lacie! I wanted to cry!
