I am so glad you posted something!!! I went to bed early and woke up at 2 am and almost came down to the computer to see where Jack is going.

WOOHOO Brazil!!! Does he get to go to the MTC in Brazil??? How exciting for Jack....CONGRATS!!!!!

patsy said...

YES he is going to the Brazil MTC- that is if he can get his passport & Visa in time. We are getting on that tomorrow.
If it doesn't come in in time, he will go to the provo mtc until it comes.

I enjoyed the reveal pics--it's so sweet to see your family all gathered around--and Megan on the phone (is she feeling better?) and Jack's buddies and then...drumroll...the big news.

Congrats to Jack and Brazil!!

Gail said...

Wow, Patsy you really know how to keep people on pins and needles. So, many photos (good) I thought you would never get to the reveal. Good Luck to Jack!!! It is so exciting.

The pictures are so awesome and totally capture the emotion of this big milestone in your family's life! I'm so happy for Jack and for you and Brett. It must be surreal to have Brian just barely home from a worthy mission and Jack about to leave for one.
