Lately I've been thinking a lot about my little brother, Walter. I've come to realize how much I truely look up to him and admire the person he is. He is a hero to me. When I think of the lessons he has taught me through example I feel extremely humbled. He is a great young man. Although I look up to him in many ways I have always felts very protective of him. I want to guard him from any harm, or pain. I've come to know that is not possible nor is it best. He is serving the Lord in California and facing challenges and having remarkable experiences that I am not directly involved in. Although he is far away and involved in the work I feel we are still very connected. I love him so much and yearn for his happiness. Upon gaining a greater understanding of how much I love him I feel I have come to taste a small sample of what our Savior must feel for each of us, His brothers and sisters. Oh, what love He must have! How much He must desire to guard us from harm and protect us from pain, but yet He knows He cannot always. He knows we must learn and grow. And so I put my trust in Him who loves us perfectly. Through Faith in His love I find comfort in His abilities to perfectly protect and keep my little brother.

I love that last picture. You all look so happy! Walt is a great example to us all and I am so proud of his decision to serve the Lord, even though it is hard at times.
