WE LOVE OUR ELDER!

Trace has been back at the MTC for 24 hours now. He was set apart as a Missionary on the 6th with his family present. After a brief goodbye to some of his family members he returned home to finish packing and spend a little more time with his friends. On the morning of July 7, 2010 Tim and Misty took Trace to the airport at 4:30am. No tears this time (although eyes might have been a little damp with pride) Trace was a tired Elder but excited to get back to the MTC. He's been ready to go for some time now. Some of his last statements on the ride to the airport were "you can start letter writing" and "I'll look forward to those packages". Not wanting to disappoint we went home and had a care package of cookies sent that same day through dearelder.com. We love that company. Makes letter writing and sending care packages easy and quick.

So, we'll do our best to keep every posted weekly with updates and photos that he sends us. Please keep in your thoughts and prayers.
