Congratulations, Elder Anderson! We are so proud of you!
Yes, one of the many disadvantages of living on the other side of the country is that you miss a lot of the major family events. Thus far, I've had to miss a sister's wedding, a brother in law's wedding, a family reunion, two or three family vacations, and now... my little brother's farewell. Not only are tickets over $400 round trip, but it's a real challenge to get time off of work.
Anyway, sorry we can't be there, little bro'. You're making a great decision that will not only benefit the many people you serve, but will also help you grow and mature in a plethora of ways. We wish you the best, and hopefully, we'll be able to catch you when you get back.
