We just had a fantastic 2 days with Christina's sister Julie, her husband Nathan, and their oldest Dillon. They came out on Friday for Dillon to go through the temple to receive his endowments! He is going to serve a
mission in a couple of months to Doiania Brazil Mission! He is the first of our nephew/nieces to serve and we are so proud of him! We were grateful that he invited us to celebrate this time with him. He is an amazing man and we know that he'll be able to touch many lives in Brazil with his kindness and example of truth and righteousness. Some of his Dad's side of the family were able to come down as well, so we all gathered at Crown Burger after a beautiful session at the Salt Lake Temple.
Saturday was then spent missionary shopping. They went down to Orem to the Missionary Mall and Mr. Mac and got EVERYTHING he will need. They took care of all the shoes, shirts, pants, ties, and suit that he'll need for 2 years in about 2 hours. It was impressive. After the shopping spree we went down to Tucanos to overstuff ourselves, but we forgot that it was Valentine's weekend so the wait was a little over an hour. Since Dillon needed to have a "Brazilian" experience we decided to wait and we're glad we did. The food was amazing and well worth the wait.
After eating too much we were able to visit a little longer with Sarah's family and then Dillon, Nathan, and Julie were super sweet
and helped me pick up a dresser we had looked at earlier in the week. We needed a long dresser for the space that we have and we found an awesome one, but they were asking too much for it so we gave them a $100 offer and said we'd take it off their hands and surprising they wanted us to. After unloading the dresser we ended the night with watching Sherlock Holmes on the big screen in the living room. It was a fun visit and we can't wait to see Dillon once more before he takes off for the Brazil MTC in April. What a great example he is!
