The First Letter


Dear Family,
Hey Guys! I am alive and well! After you guys all left it was crazy. I didn't have a second to sit down and think. It's nuts. My companion is Kevin Douglas Nelson. He is from Ricksburg, Idaho. He is way nice, but pretty quiet which is hard. Oh and I will be okay with one suit. No worries. My P-day is Tuesday so I'll be able to email you then. But Jon, you have to write me still! But anyways....it's lights out so I gotta go. But I love you all so much! Oh and where are my belts? Let me know!
Love,
Elder Buckner
After reading this, my heart warmed. Ahhhh..he still needs his mother. The kid doesn't know how to unzip and unpack a basic suitcase to find a belt.

Woohoo! The first letter - very exciting. That's nice you'll be able to hear from him every Tuesday!

And of course he still needs his mother. I love that he couldn't find his belt!

Oh, and I like what you are doing with the layout of your blog too. Lookin' good.

I love that he couldn't find his belts! Your blog is looking good. You should put some Costa Rica stuff on here!!

Oh Em, I just thought of one more thing to put on your blog.. Post Jordan's email & mailing address over on the right side somewhere so people can send him letters.

Hi Em, Motard-I like it!!! It seems to fit him well-ha, ha!!!
We miss you too. I felt bad that we couldn't come to Jordan's farewell. Josh's cousin's farewell was at the exact same time. I'm so glad you have a blog. It's such a great way to keep a journal while keeping everyone else in the loop. I will be done with school in May of 2010, BUT, I will have my LPN this spring, so I could start working in nursing at that point, but we'll see, might be kind of tricky with school still. Good to hear from you on the blogging world. I think it is FANTASTIC that you are so intimidating to Mr. you know who!!! Keep up the great work! :) -Angela-
