So... My Cousin has gone, for 2 years, he left to go to Ukraine on Mission, and as we were driving him to the MTC, I was thinking a lot and came up with this, my first ever Poem... Let me know what you think of it.:
He is now gone for atleast 2 years
A sound and thought that directs me to tears
A feeling that leaves me empty and dreadful
But yet a feeling that that makes me feel hopeful
That he will come home to be a better man
A man that has learned to give others a helping hand
A man that will always be there for someone
And a man that will leave behind no-one
This person I call my cousin or best friend
Yet if I was to give these word a slight bend
I would would call him none other
Than my big brother

Coolio....cheers mate. Hope the legs are all better now?
Best wishes to your brother/cousin! Ukraine has got to be a difficult mission and I wish him all success!
There is something about a missionary that has him completely set up for future life - and adding an extra language has got to be one of the best job skills going!
I hope you can some day serve a mission too.
I want to serve a mission too, just don’t know where I want to go yet, Its not like I can choose though XD
You will be sent where you are needed most. However, I do believe they take into account current talents and skills, so if there is a place that is close to your heart, learn all you can - especially language and cultural things. Doubly important if that's a place the Church is trying to expand - so if you want to serve in the Ukraine, learn Ukrainian.
MTC there in South Africa?
Yip, so he is serving his first couple of months in South Africa, then he leaves to Utah MTC to go to Ukraine
