Braden Mission

My brother Braden got his mission call on the 9th of Dec. We were all gathered at the house and he came home from Ely after working with dad. Calling everyone he knew on the way home from Ely so everyone could be there. At about 10 that evening he opened his Calling to Russia West Moscow Mission Leaving Feb 1st.

His best friend Jake was set to leave the same day, however they changed Braden's date to Feb 15th due to changing his language program. However Jake got on the detail to pick Braden up when he arrived.

Braden's friend Devin entered the MTC April 4th and Braden was able to get on the detail to pick Devin up. I received this photo from some of bradens facebook friends.

We were able to talk with him on March 12th about Grandpa Blackburn Passing. His friends Elder Brown and everyone there were able to help him so much. He knows know he has one more gaurdian angle to look after him. He is set to leave in a couple weeks pending his Visa arrival. Cant wait for him to start this new adventure. Very proud of him to have made this decision in his life. It will be very hard not having him around for 2 years but know he is where he is suppose to be.
