Andrews'ses

Let me first apologize to all the English Majors in my family. I truly do not know how to write the pleural of my last name correctly... Andrews' Andrews's Andrews'ses.
I personally enjoy writing the last one.
My point?
I have a lot of Andrews' in my life.
The first one being my older/wiser brother... Andrew
(he is the one on the right, the other guy is my Dad... not an Andrew)

Then, I meet the Andrews Family. Decided they were pretty cool people and married their son...Curtis Andrews

(Kathy Andrews)
(Ken Andrews)

And Finally... The new Andrew.
Oddly enough his name is not truly Andrew. But that is not the point. He currently answers to the name Andrew... and I couldn't even begin to spell his Chinese name.
Andrew is one remarkable kid. About a month ago he contacted the missionaries and asked for a ride to church. He had visited one of the Temples while on vacation in California and wanted to learn more about our church.
The missionaries then asked us to provide him with a ride.
We were a little shocked to discover that he is only 15 years old.
Andrew is from China, and living in a dorm while attending a private high school.
He is very smart, and very quiet... unless you want to talk about tennis.
One of the things that impressed me about Andrew is the small sacrifice he makes to come to church every Sunday. Since his meals are provided by the school at set hours, on Sunday he has to skip both breakfast and lunch in order to attend church. Do you know a 15 year old that would do that? Especially one without parents in the same country?
Last Sunday Andrew was baptized. It has been a lot of fun for our family to make Andrew part of the Andrews... even if it is only on Sundays.
