Markie Mark

Sean's little brother, Mark, left on his mission last week to Colorado Springs.  We love being with Mark and we will definitely miss him tons but we are so excited for him.  He was also super prepared to leave on his mission.  Sean kept thinking about how nervous he was when he left on his mission to Portugal.  Sean thinks that seeing 3 older brothers leave on missions has helped Mark not be as nervous.  He also thought that it helped that Mark lived away from home for a bit before his mission.  It will be interesting to see how well missionaries adjust to their missions since the age limit has decreased and probably less missionaries will have had opportunities of living on their own.  It will be even more important that families teach their missionaries to clean, cook and take care of themselves while they are still in high school.

We're just glad Mark is out and we look forward to hearing about all his missionary experiences!
