Called To Serve...

So, my 18 year old brother just send off his Mormon mission papers. This means that some time this week he should be receiving his 'Mission Call' - the letter requesting him to serve as a mormon missionary somewhere in the world for two years.


I don't know quite how I feel about my little brother disappearing off for two whole years somewhere - potentially just across the country, yet his family and friends are unable to visit, or call (except on mother's day and christmas).


I suppose I'd rather he went further away to be honest, at least then it's not like I could just pop to Scotland (where my cousin currently is on his mission) to see him.


I suppose there's only a few days before we all find out...
