Abram update

Abram is a good big brother.  If you don't believe me, then you must have missed this video.  He was only 14 months old when Aubrey was born, so he has really never known life without having younger kids around.  As a teenager, he was especially awesome with little kids.  He knows how to be silly with them, how to play what they wanted to play, how to imagine and create things, and basically how to make kids feel like that are the most important things in the world.

All those years he was practicing for the time he would meet this darling little girl in Las Vegas.  She was very shy and didn't ever talk to missionaries, and as her parents returned to activity in the church, she didn't want to be baptized.  But she met Abram, and he used his big brother charms to win her over.  She was baptized with her older brother last Saturday.  I think as excited as Abram is to leave for Mexico on Monday, he will be sad to say goodbye to this family he has come to love.
