I Hope He Won't Be Too Far Away

The following caused me to shed many unexpected tears when read out loud in Primary today. I guess all the exciting mission talk is getting to me.

My brother is on a mission
In a place far away.
He teaches folks about the Lord.
He shows them how to pray.

My brother is on a mission.
His letters make me proud.
Because he’s doing what he should,
He stands out in a crowd.

My brother is on a mission.
It’s the right thing to do.
And when I’m big like my brother,
I’ll serve a mission too.
