that boy.

this boy is one that i will never ever take for granted. meet zach.

this lovely boy is my cousin. remember when i told you he was one of my role models? well, today his parents drove him the long distance of 10 minutes to the provo mtc. my favorite person in the world is officially an elder.

this boy is one of the smartest kids you will ever meet. he was accepted into a few ivy league schools, and offered many football scholarships. he didn't take any of them. instead, he decided to go to byu and prepare for his mission.

my best friend has been called to serve in the uruguay montevideo mission for the

church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.

zach, you're going to be the best missionary out there. your strong testimony and desire to do the right thing all the time will rub off on everyone you meet. they're going to love you. uruguay is so lucky to have you. good luck.

the last words he said to me. i'll never forget them.

"i just want you to know i love you. i'll see you in two years. i'll e-mail you and stuff all the time. i love you so much. bye."

i love you too. these two years better fly by. i'll miss you so much.
