A photo shoot with the Elders in Bridgeport/Clarksburg area...
I love this primary song, I always feel the spirit when I hear it.
I hope that my son will have the same amazing experiences
that I had as a missionary too.
We have two sets of Elders in our area,
a set of bike Elders in Clarksburg and the District Leaders here in Bridgeport.
I asked the Elders to each bring something to personalize their photos.
Gotta love the flag, this logo is everywhere in this state.
Everyone loves WVU.

Elder Mechm has served in the two areas that we have lived in (White Sulpher & Bridgeport),
he is a happy Elder and it is rare to not see him smiling.
Smiling is contagious so it's hard to be upset when he's around.
Before my mission my brother would leave me post-it note in random spots where he knew where I would find them. The notes always said the same thing "Practice smiling, you'll need to have one on your face at all times when you are a missionary". My big brother has always given me advice that linger long after it's given.
Elder Moreang, my Polynesian brother.
He can get Acalias to laugh so hard, maybe he reminds him of uncle Stevey.
We've been spoiling him with some Polynesian food. I was lucky, I had access to plenty of Poly food on my mission...and it helps to know how to cook it.
Elder Mears, is quiet the jokester in case you can't already tell by his poses.
Elder Johnson didn't like taking pictures at all.
Hence, the lack of pictures of him.
My husband was the same way, he has a handful of pictures from his mission and he's not in most of them.
I hope their families enjoy their Christmas gifts,
the Elders wanted to send home a current portrait of themselves.
Now that I'm a mother and return missionary, I would be thrilled to receive a picture of my son as missionary.
I look forward to watching Acalias grow up to become a missionary, for now I'm happy with this stage. He's a fun loving, energetic, super guapo (he struts around whenever I call him Guapo), little boy!
Not to mention, I love, LOVE his great big hugs that he gives so generously.
