My Missionary Brother

So my little brother is serving in Lousiville, Kentucky. He has been out for 16 months now. We all sure miss him. These are some pictures that we just got in the mail from him. Enjoy!!

Don't worry it isn't real!

That is the smile I sure do miss!

I'm sorry, but that is just gross and wrong.

Erik, we all miss and love you! Good job on what you're doing! Can't wait to have you home again!

My husband's stepdad lives in Kentucky in Georgetown... does he ever venture into that part?; October 18, 2008 at 6:06 PM
