One of Russ's younger brothers, Brad, entered the Missionary Training Center today to serve a 2 year mission for The Church or Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Roseville, CA! He is SO excited and will do a great job teaching people about Jesus Christ. Russ has another brother that is currently serving a mission in the Dominican Republic, but will be finishing his 2 years soon. We look forward to seeing him in a few months. Caden is especially excited that his uncle will be able to speak Spanish with him when he comes home.
Caden is proud of his uncles that are serving (and have served) missions. He asked us "when can I be a missionary?"
Side note: Russ's youngest brother, Matt, (on the right) was just diagnosed with type I (juvenile) diabetes. He has had an amazing outlook, and has really learned a lot already. He is such a positive, happy young man. We are proud of his example and happy that we get to learn more about diabetes and help out when we can. Russ's other brother (there are 6 boys and 1 girl in his family) has had diabetes for about 18 years, so he was a huge help to Matt. He even drove his family out to Denver for a few days to help Matt with everything. What a great family!
