Goodbye Elder Lyons

So I was thinking about stuff today and I also realized that I am going to miss this kid


Elder Mark Lyons is one of the greatest guys I have ever known. Yeah. We never really talk to each other, but I do care for him and I will miss him as he goes on his mission. He leaves this Thursday (March 8) for the South African MTC and then in a few weeks, he will be heading to the English-speaking mission (lucky:) of Nairobi, Kenya. 

Mark was my trek brother the summer before ninth grade. He taught me a lot like perseverance, determination, will power, and just having fun. Much of what he taught me then still helps me now and I know that if only a few days of talking with him helped me, then there will be many people who will understand more of the gospel because of his inspiring and powerful words. 

So good luck to you Mark! There are so many waiting for you to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Do not forget to "Push it Charlotte!" and "Punch it Margaret!" :)
