My family only had one boy born into it. Ryan. For my family this opportunity will only come once. He will now be called Elder Skousen for two years and his time has already started. He left on July 6th, 2011 and will be coming home to see McCoy at the age of 3 1/2. Crazy to think about it that way but it really put it into perspective for me. This is a huge sacrifice for a young man to go on a mission at such a young age. These two years of any man's life, are usually the most important and valuable years. My younger brother has decided to dedicate those two special years to our Heavenly Father. He will be serving in the Forte Lauderdale, Florida mission, Spanish speaking. I can't believe this time has already come. We'll miss him but I am especially proud of him and what's he out there teaching about and his sacrifice he's made because of his love for the gospel and his Savior. WE LOVE YOU RYAN and GOOD LUCK!!
Dropping him off at the MTC.
Ryan only got to see a few weeks of Perry's life. He'll be back when she 2 years old.
