He's so grown up!

Elder Buck sent us a new letter on the 23rd. He has been out 1 full month, can you believe it?! He loves getting letters and hearing from everyone. He was even able to see his friend, Clint Ericson, so he was pretty excited about that. He feels like he's grown so much since he's been there, and so much older than those new missionaries coming in. He's so experienced now! =) In one month he'll be in AFRICA
He's sending us lots of pictures and showing how much fun he's having. So we'll post those soon!

First Few Letters

We have received a few letters from Elder Buck now, and it's so good to hear from him. It's even better because as family, we get to email him Fridays and usually receive a note from him too. He is doing really well. He loves serving the Lord and has an amazing testimony. He's had some adjusting to do getting used to having a companion, but it's going well. He loves getting letters and hearing from everyone. He is so grateful for all the love and support he is receiving.
Elder Buck is working hard trying to learn French so he can go and teach the people of the Congo the Gospel. He's way excited and can't wait to get there.

Missionary Pictures

The Sunday before Elder Buck left we ran to the park and took some pictures of him in his suit. Here are just a few we thought we'd share...Keep in mind I'm NO professional! 



He'll be such a cute missionary! 



Lookin Good Elder Buck!


This is one of my favorites.


He was trying ever so hard not to do his "Chandler Smile". 
Oh...and don't mind the house in the background! =)


Behind Already!

How sad is it that Sky has been gone a month and I'm already behind on this! Pretty darn! So hopefully this week I can get it all up to date and then we can stay current! So here goes, and sorry for the delay!
