the coolest thing since sliced bread

these are 2 of my older cousins, mal and nate.
they are my heroes.
they are some of my very best friends.
and they are very special.
because it takes a special kind of person to put their personal life on hold for 2 years to go on a mission for our church and spread the gospel.

nate has been out for almost a year already. he's serving in Chile, and from what i understand, he absolutely loves it there.

malachi is still currently in the states at the Provo MTC preparing to go to Russia in a few months.

i have grown up with them.
i have admired them.
i have thought for as long as i can remember that they are the coolest thing since sliced bread.
and i feel so thankful to have these men in my life to set such good examples for me.
i love them so so much.
