Tyler's new Companion--Elder Lee.
I got this text one morning from a lady in Tyler's ward. It was pretty great to receive. 
This same sister has send me a few pictures of Tyler with the missionaries he serves with. He always has a big smile on his face, which shows how much he is enjoying his mission. The elder on the left if from Honduras and often him and Tyler give lessons in Spanish together. 
Every Monday we look forward to facetime calls from Tyler. Mission rules allow him to call home on his p-day. Everyone enjoys their chance to talk to him and I think he enjoys sharing how his week has gone and being filled in on how things are going here. One night Kyle took the phone and these boys talk for like an hour. When Kyle got off the phone he said, "Man, I miss that kid." They talked and laughed and goofed off. I love that they get to do that. If Tyler does end up going to Ecuador I'm not sure these calls will be as frequent, so we'll just enjoy them while we can. So far Tyler loves North Carolina. He is in Pittsboro, NC. He says the people are friendly and the area is beautiful. He's on his second companion. We pray that he is learning and growing and changing and seeing how the gospel can change people. We are proud of his service and pray for his safety after hearing this week that he and his comp accidently blew something up! As a mom I shake my head and as a mom I thank the heavens that he didn't get injured or injure someone else! He promised to be more careful. He had his first baptism and even had a non-member give him a coat. (we didn't buy him a coat because he didn't need on for the Ecuador mission). I was humbled by the sweet mans generosity, and so was Tyler.
