May has been a busy month for our family as three of our brothers all left to serve missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so proud of Kevin, Bryan, and Chris and will miss them lots, but am excited for their journey ahead. It all started when they got their mission calls a few months ago.

Kevin will be serving in Omaha, Nebraska. Bryan will be serving in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Chris will be serving in Kobe, Japan. All three boys checked into the MTC with Chris first on May 6th. Then it was the Twins turn, Kevin and Bryan went in on May 20th.
Zach and I were sad we couldn't make it to see Chris off, but we were able to go with our family when Kevin and Bryan went into the MTC. I couldn't help but think how lucky they were to have each other to experience this moment together. Being twins, they have done just about everything together and although they will all be hundreds and thousands of mile apart, they will all still have something in common and that is sharing the gospel. How cool is that?
Just as we were in the middle of taking pictures, someone spotted our very own Elder McConnell! We were so happy to see our step-brother and his companion heading out to play softball with the other elders and they even came over to say hi and snap a few photos.
Chris had a huge smile on his face the whole time. It's extraordinary to have two brothers leave for missions the same day, but then to have a third be put in the mix has been a tremendous experience. These guys are all so close and to see them so ready to serve is humbling.
Proud Parents, Krehl and Debi. They have successfully gotten all of their children out of the house and are now empty nesters.
"Church is true, see ya in two!"
We love you guys!

I can't beleive how old they all are, how fun they will be great missionaries.
I will miss those guys.
No worries Kegs and Ziggity. We definately missed seeing you but I am so glad you had a great reason to be gone--and thanks for trying to rearrange things, but it was no big deal. PLEASE come visit as soon as you can, we are having some serious Whitchurch withdrawls. Hope all is great with you guys. Love you!
