Hey all, this is Jeff's sister, Katie. He wanted me to start up a blog so he can post stories and pictures from his mission. He will be sending me stuff to include next week, so while I'm waiting, I figure I might as well tell you all a little bit about him from the viewpoint of his sister.
-He is hilarious. He has always been funny even when he was young....wearing swim goggles and carrying his toy gun around the garden, building a city called Jekatimas (Jeff, Katie, and Thomas all mixed together) out in the sand box (it lasted for years), and making us laugh when he played the game Guesstures (he now hates that game).
-He is very sentimental, meaning he holds on to things. If he could drive the same car and live in the same house and wear the same clothes as he did in his childhood, I think he would die a happy man.
-He is very caring. I don't think I've ever met another kid to care so much about others. When picking teams, he always picked the kids that weren't the fastest or the best because he didn't want them to feel bad. As a family, when we split into groups to stay at different grandparents' houses, Jeff always went with the parent who had the least amount of kids so they wouldn't feel bad.
Jeff is awesome, but most of you already know that. I'm excited to start this blog for him, it will be fun to share his experiences he's having on the final months of his mission.
