Elder Campbell's trainer is named Elder Flory. In his letter today he wrote: " I am in Flagstaff my first area. It is so beautiful- I love it! 7,000ft up green and rainy. My trainer is cool. Our apartment is tiny though. We have been doing a lot of tracting since we don't know the ward yet." The picture of Elder Campbell and Elder Flory looks like they both might be up to something.....Hmmm......Double trouble I say.... It is great to know that Elder Campbell is having a good experience in his first area. He is on a bike so of course the first email was...Hey mom and dad, love you but send money NOW! I wonder what the next one will say.....

Well today we got two letters- one from his Mission President and one from Elder Campbell! The first night they took a picture of Elder Campbell with President and Sister Beck. Elder Campbell sure looks sharp in his suit! They had a new missionary orientation and dinner that night followed by a testimony meeting. He said he could tell Elder Campbell has a tender heart! He is right- looks can be deceiving! Elder Campbell is really a big teddy bear!!

Elder Campbell at the Provo Temple and look- he's wearing his watch! Thanks Elise!!

Two years in the Life....

This blog is dedicated to two years in the life of Elder Tyler Campbell. He was called to serve in the Arizona Phoenix Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I promised my son that I would do this blog so that all his friends could be kept up to date on his adventures! After spending three weeks in the Missionary Training Center, he finally left for Arizona on Tuesday!! We waited with anticipation for his call early that morning. The phone FINALLY rang!! Music to a mother's ears! Can you tell I miss my boy? He was excited to be on his way. He was traveling with his companion Elder Schneider. They have become fast friends. That is truly a gift Ty or I guess I need to say Elder Campbell has- he can make anyone feel like they are his best buddy!! He loves people and they love him. That will serve him well on his mission.



Wednesday I got a call from his Mission President. He said that Elder Campbell had arrived safely and his first area will be Flagstaff! I googled Flagstaff and found it to look a lot like Washington. That will be good for him- he will feel right at home! As soon as I know his address I will post it so you can all start those letters to him!!
