Our family has just sent off our second missionary in the past four months. My nephew Erik will be serving in Indonesia....wow! I think about 80% of the country is Muslim, I'm sure it will be fascinating to learn about the culture. The average height of Indonesians is 5'3", so Erik's 6'5" frame won't stand out or anything!!
Erik with my 2 beautiful nieces, Katherine and Elizabeth.
Erik has 4 younger brothers, so he's always been really good with Alex.
Steph and Erik are pretty good buds, so she's going to miss him a lot. We went to Erik's farewell at church and it was amazing, the spirit was so strong. I'm so grateful Steph has cousins who are such a great example to her.The same day as his farewell, Erik's new nephew Abram (the first great-grandchild of the Eide family) decided to make his entrance in the world. Lots of exciting things in our family this past year.
And yes, being a "Great Aunt Lana" makes me sound so very old, but little Abram is so cute that I don't mind a bit!

I could say a lot of things about this post. But for now I'll just say one word: emotional!
How exciting for the Eide Family. He wont stand out at all.
