Elder Barnes Update

This is my handsome brother, Bryan. He's serving a two-year mission for our church in Sydney, Australia and has learned to speak Mandarin Chinese. He had been out just over a year and it has gone by SO fast! He emails us once a week and tells us all about the neat experiences he's having. He is such a good example to us all. He absolutely loves what he's doing and frequently writes that he would stay longer, if not indefinitely. He is one of the hardest workers I know, (he gets that from our dad) and he is genuine in every aspect. He has talked about going to China for school once he's home, and has even mentioned that he would serve for another two years if China opens their borders to missionaries. He loves Australia too, and can't wait to go back there on holiday, as they say. We love you Elder Barnes! May year two come and go as quickly as the first!
