Andrew left on July 23, 2014 for his 2 year LDS Mission. He was called to serve in the Quezaltenago, Guatemala Mission. He went straight to the Guatemala MTC to learn Spanish. He was there for 6 weeks before he was sent to the area in Guatemala where he will serve.

Saying goodbye to him was a lot harder then I thought it would be. Maybe because 2 days later my parents moved to California. There were a lot of goodbyes that week.  We all miss Andrew a ton, we have family chats where at some point during it, someone says "where is Andrew?!" He was our tech guru and the Go-to Guy.

He has been doing awesome the last 6 weeks! He gets to email us every week, and that has been a day we look forward to. Last week because he was leaving the MTC we didn't get an email, and it sucked. Me and my mom checked our emails every hour!

I am so proud of him and cant wait to here about all of his adventures. I do miss him like crazy though.
