Over the past couple of years, Kaleb has gotten to know a great little friend. His name is Anthony Nixon. Kaleb and Anthony have been in the same classes at school for both 2nd and 3rd grades. This past year (3rd Grade) the boys have become even better friends. Anthony and his mom and two brothers have been living with their Grandparents here in Riverton, while their dad was deployed with the military. It truly is a small world because I found out that Anthony's Grandpa(that grandpa he was living with), Steve Thomas, is the high counselor over the Stake Primary Presidency that I have been serving in. Brother Thomas, is such a sweet and kind man and I have truly enjoyed serving with him.
This past December, Anthony's Dad found out that he would be able to come back and live with his family in the states since his deployment was up. That meant that Anthony would have to move back to Georgia where his family was living and had a home.
When Kaleb found this out, he was very sad to think that Anthony would be leaving.
Before the Anthony moved, I promised Kaleb that Anthony could come play and I would take the boys to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. The boys had a great time together. It has been a few weeks since Anthony has moved and Kaleb truly misses his friend. I feel for him. Anthony and Kaleb had so much in common and actually looked a lot a like. It was pretty cute and crazy how much they had in common.We hope that in a few years that Anthony will be able to move back to Utah and Kaleb and Anthony will be able to go to Middle School together.
Here is another picture of Kaleb and his good friends from school!There just isn't anything better in life than having a good, good friend.
