"Everyone has their time when they shine," Victor said. "Harvey's always been faster than me, stronger than me, smarter than me. He tells me, 'This is one thing, a mission, where you can beat me. And this is the most important thing I can think of so far. You got me on this one.' "

As Victor leaves to serve a mission in Hawaii, he knows a piece of Harvey will go with him.

"People ask me all the time, 'What's it like to be Harvey's brother?' It's neat, but to me, he's just Harvey. He still has to wash dishes at the end of the day," Victor said. "He's busy and he has a lot of things on his mind and a lot of things to do. I'm just happy my brother was willing to help me out. It means a lot to me. It was a long process but well worth it."
