Elder Bryce Alan Horrocks: Our Trip Home

On May 12th, Molly and I flew home for 11 days to spend time with family and for my brother Bryce's farewell. For those of you who havent heard he was called to the Brazil Porto Alegre South Mission ( The very same mission my brother Brent served in). Bryce left on May 19th and went straight to the CTM (that is what they call the MTC in Brazil) in Sao Paulo. We had so much fun with him before he left! We are so proud of him! I dont know where to start so- I will let the pictures (and descriptions) do the talking. . . . .
WARNING: its a long one!

My brother Braden had baseball games to go to.
They were so much fun! He pitches and catches!
