Trolley-Boy

Elder Carles
Vancouver, Canada Mission

It's hard for me to believe that Ben, my little Buddy, is already old enough to serve a mission.

He is my oldest nephew and I was only 10 years old when he was born. He was the closest thing to a "younger sibling" that I had and we were best buds back then.

But once in awhile, like when I'd call him the nickname I made up for him, Trolley-Boy, he'd get really mad at me.

"I not Trolley-Boy, I Benjamin plain!" he'd yell.

He wasn't too fond of that nickname apparently.

Sometimes though, {when I was feeling mean I guess} I'd call him that just to hear his reply, because he'd say it so funny.

Oh, good times.

Ben entered into the MTC today and I am so excited for him as he embarks on this new phase in his life.

He is going to be a great missionary!

Love ya my little Trolley-Boy!
