Bro gets Mission call...

My bro Andy received an LDS mission call this week. He's going to Wisconsin and will learn the Mong language.

I'm happy that he's going. He'll be a great asset in the work there. He's a good man. Hooray for Wisconsin.

Edit: Woa, I just realized the Madison Scouts are from Wisconsin. That makes Wisconsin one of the top places in the country to be.

The other day Jack told my wife he wanted to write a Christmas song. She wrote some simple accompanyment, and Jack (who has just turned 5) composed and performed this song.

In case you can't tell at first, the words main words are:

"I like Christmas"
"I like getting the toys" (which oftentimes comes out like "...getting the toyeeYooeeeYoooees")

Listen for the cute little-boy-type laugh at the very end.

It's pretty great. Have a listen, and leave a comment about what you think.
