Goal #94 Write my nephew weekly on his mission



My oldest nephew, Bryce, returned last month from a 25-month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Bolivia! You can see his mission blog here and if you want to read about why Mormons serve missions, click here. I returned from my mission in Brazil 6 and a half years ago, and I know how much family support meant to me. You're kind of isolated as a missionary--you can only call home on Mother's Day and Christmas and you e-mail once a week. There were a few people that wrote me every week on my mission, and it meant a lot to me just to know I wasn't forgotten. I'm super proud of my nephew and wanted him to know how much he was loved. I think I forgot 4 or 5 times during the whole 2 years...which I think is pretty good. :)

My dollar for (essentially) completing this goal goes to funding young innovators in Sierra Leone, Kenya, and South Africa.
