Wishing for warmer weather

My younger brother Jonathan Mark (a.k.a. Buddy) is currently serving a mission for our church 

in the Philippines and is loving it. 

He sent these pictures last night and it left me a little jealous.

His latest adventure has been giving garden tours of the Manila Philippines Temple. 

The group.

Missionary buds. Mark is on the right. I'm so happy that he's wearing the orange tie bought and picked out by yours truly. It's definitely a mission tie because I bought it in Brazil while serving my own mission. Now, pay attention, short sleeves and Buddy is all nice and tan.

Now back to Utah.

Snow, ice, and gray. Hey Buddy, want to trade? 

I doubt it. 

However, thank goodness for hot chocolate, it'll get me through the rest of the winter.
