My cousin Matt -by James

Cousin Matt is my very favorite cousin. He loves airplanes, he's nice, and he's a good example. I feel happy and important when I'm around him. He notices me and he asks me questions.

We both love airplanes and he shows them to me. He makes WWII Biplanes, bombing planes, and foam planes. He builds them himself so that they're not as expensive and so he can fix them when they break. He told me that we can build a foam plane when he gets home. He's super creative. He draws art, makes ceramic stuff, and he reused a drone camera for something else. He made a spy camera that you could wear and even put it on Jessie. He's also super good at the guitar and really good in school. He likes to read a lot too, just like me.

Matt is super nice. He always has a smile on his face, he's nice to his family, and he takes care of his mom. He treats others nicely and he's happy. He shows others his projects and shares them and teaches us how they work. He lets us go in his room to see and hold his birds and planes. He helps others. I've noticed that he's patient with Katelyn, even when she's being a 'little stinker.' He acted on a prompting to make her bed after she was being unkind. After he was set apart and on his last day before he left for his mission, he stopped by my house just to say bye to me.

He's a good example to me and my brothers. He's nice to others even when they aren't. Even though he could get a job, make money, build planes, and date his girlfriend he's making the choice to serve a mission instead. I know he will teach others, bless others, be nice to others, and help others on his mission.

I'm grateful for my cousin Matt who is a good example of being nice, helpful, kind, and creative. I can't wait to hear about his mission and to see him again.
