Brandon,

Happy 30th Birthday! What a blessing you are to so many around you. I’m grateful that I have had a front row seat to your life for the last 11 years.

I heard a teacher recently say that you can tell what a person is passionate about based on the conversation that you hear come out of their mouths within the first twenty to thirty minutes that they are with you. I thought of a few people when she mentioned this and you were one of them. Ever since I have known you, you have infiltrated all conversation with your passion to know more about Christ and his plan and will for your life and the lives of those around you. You have a way of getting people excited about the gospel. While I don’t share your passion for the complicated topics and trying to figure out all the “specifics,” it is at times enjoyable to hear you process the intricate details of the gospel to an almost complex state for most. But for you it’s not complicated, it’s just fun and exciting and gets you even more fired up for the mission has set you on.

Thanks for being an awesome brother and uncle. I love you and I am so excited to see what the next year bring for you and your girls. I know God is going to do mighty things because you are willing to be used by him.

Love you.

Pepper
