Okay so the 500's are on there way out!

Every 100 days of Nate's mission I am going to post pictures and update his events. It is a good thing he sent me some pictures for my Birthday.





Nate is now in a village called Shaumburg. Kelli says it is not really like a village. It is outside of Chicago. He asked his mission president if he could be companions with Elder Bryner. Colby and Jason thought he was crazy for doing this, that there was no way the mission president would allow it if you asked. But next transfer Nate and Elder Bryner were put together and they are both happy is sounds like.



On preparation day they attended the Chicago Temple. A treat they usually don't get. So they were excited.

Larry for some reason does not like my count down clock on my blog. He thought Nate needed a chart like the rest of the boys and so he went and bought one. He bought different colored pencils to carefully mark each day, transfer, companion and assignment a different color. He took an evening and filled out his chart so carefully. He was very proud.


He was very proud until he found out that he marked the 18 month side instead of the 2 year side. I was rolling on the floor with laughter. Whoops. I guess he will have to start over again. He told me I could not touch his chart....So mum is the word that I put in on the blog because I had to sneak it to get it in the scanner.



Well, here is to another 100 days of Mission...:)

  1. I absolutely love the pic with the flowers. It shows Nate's soft side. I feel sorry for Larry, I have done that same thing so many times. It takes me a few days to want to tackle it again if I ever do.

  2. I love the pictures. I have been to the temple, I wish I could have ran into him. It would have been so wonderful if it were the day Kelli and I were there together. What a great dad, GO LARRY!!

  3. I thought, "Wow, he is almost to his hump day!" Maybe not quite, huh? He looks so good! Maybe I need to take a little drive up to Shaumburg...

  4. Just caught up on all your pictures. Nate looks great. So sorry for Larry. Maybe a trip to Italy will help him feel better. I would love to have seen the 7000 youth. What an experience. Maybe we should move to Utah. I don't think Duane will go for it though.

  5. So good to see the pictures of Nate. He looks happy. Sorry about the chart, it hard enough to keep up with them when you do it each day.
