And Hes off!!

And he is off!!! Its crazy to think that Willie actually left on his mission this week. I am so proud of him. he will be in the MTC for 3 weeks and then he will be off to the Tulsa Oklahoma mission.
I miss him already so much. I was telling a brother in-law today that there is this certain special spirit/presence that surrounds Willie where ever he goes and you can feel it when you are around him. Well that is the biggest thing that I miss about him being gone. I miss his voice. His smell (he always smelled good). His laugh. I really miss his hugs the most. I know that it has only been 4 days but I am allowed to miss him right?
Anyway I know that things will be easier to handle as time goes by. When he left he told me that when ever I miss him I can go and climb in his bed. I think that I am going to take him up on it.
When we dropped him off he left and didn't even look back. I am so proud of him. I can't even express how proud I am. Willie is one of my heroes and he always will be. I love him so much.
April will be leaving on September 28 to the Independence, Missouri Mission. So we will have two missionaries in the family. I think that it is really cool that their missions actually boarder each other. I have been joking around saying that we can't keep the two of them apart so of course they have to serve missions by each other/the chother. I am so excited for my siblings to be on missions. I can't help it but to be a little bit jealous. I feel that I can learn ways to share the gospel right along with them while they are gone. Well thats all for now.
Love,
Rachel
