Jake is an Elder

Jake is growing up fast. When I met him, he was a 5th grader at Cascade, where I was principal. The last Sunday in July, John ordained him to be an Elder. Last week he started BYU. Today he met with the Bishop to begin his mission papers. Where has the time gone?
Yes, sometimes he is a normal teenager who leaves messes and needs more money, but he is also a great kid with great goals. He's taking mission prep this semester and is so ready to leave on a mission. He has a solid testimony and a strong desire to follow God's plan. What a blessing.
His brothers LOVE him! It is sweet to see them all together. Jyson has loved having him live at our house this past year. He is a great example to them.

What a handsome boy (man?) he is! I'm excited to hear where he goes on his mission.
