today we said goodbye to my brother zach. we won't see him for 2 years while he is serving as a missionary for our church in paraguay. i am sad that he will miss 2 years of my girls' lives. when he returns p will be 5 and isla may will be 2--gasp! i will miss him terribly, but i am so happy that he is making this decision to serve. his sacrifice will bring him blessings and he will grow so close to Christ by serving the people of paraguay. i love you zach, see you in 2 years!
