Woot woot for ONE year!!

Elder Schuyler Calder hit a milestone on September 7th....He has been serving the wonderful people of Texas for one year!!  He has totally loved being a missionary and sharing the message of the Gospel.  Schuyler has grown so much and it has been wonderful to receive his weekly letters and see the transformation that he is having.  We are so very proud of him and the rock solid foundation that he continues to build upon of the Gospel.  He loves the people and especially a good old Texan barbeque!!  His mission experience has had its hardships and challenges as well as many miracles and Schuyler continues to share his love of life and love for our Savior and His restored Gospel.  We miss Schuy like crazy but are very grateful for his willingness and desire to be obedient and serve diligently in the mission field.  We are sure PROUD OF OUR ELDER!!!
Love,
His Proud Mama Bear (LU)

P.S. Here are a few pictures of what our Elder is up to!!

One Year Down ... One more to GO!!

Elder Calder hit his 1 year mark on his mission this past week (Sept. 7th)!! We cannot believe how fast this last year has gone and am sure the next will go even faster. Congratulations Elder!!!
Schuyler also got a new companion and is still in the Eden area (outside of San Antonio). They have endured excruciating heats and some crazy people. Here are some pictures of his last companion and his newby:
