My favorite Marine.

It's been awhile since my last post and I have so much to catch up on. One of these days I will sit and take the time to fill you in. One thing I do want to post about is my little brother Cameron, or Cam-marine as we like to call him. On July 9th he left his family, friends, and normal everyday life to join the U.S. Marine Corp. He has been in basic training boot camp for 3 weeks now. Only 10 more to go. I had so many fears and worries before he left. I hated not knowing how bad it would really be. We watched youtube video after video which only made it harder for me. Not sure who would choose to still go after seeing those. YIKES. I am sure it's worse than any of us will ever know. I know he is being tested both mentally and physically every single day. I am positive this will be the hardest time of his life. We have received a few letters and I can already tell he has changed. I absolutely love reading and being able to hear his testimony growing stronger every day. He is being such a good missionary and really using this experience to bless the lives of those around him. He is learning things about himself that will bless and change his life forever. I couldn't be more proud to be his sister. I can't wait for his graduation day when we will get to see him all dressed in uniform and standing with his head held high as a U.S. Marine. Oct. 5th couldn't come soon enough. Can't wait to give him the biggest hug! Love you to the moon and back. xoxo - Stace
