HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELDER LANGSTON!

I need to give equal time to my birthday kids!
Monday, April 27th is Jordan's 21st birthday. He is our 7th child and 3rd son. He has always been a happy, fun, energetic, loveable, boy. When he was born, an older neighbor woman looked at him, saw the dimple in his chin and said, "A cleft in the chin, the devil within!" He has proved her wrong...well, ok...maybe a little devil. His height, freckles and deep voice are his claim to fame.

Jordan is serving an LDS mission in Johannesburg, South Africa. He's been there 20 months!

Here he is in Lesotho, wearing an awesome hat this woman made.

This was taken just before the baptism of 2 of these people. Guess which one is Jordan.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JORDAN!
WE LOVE YOU!!

  6. I have never had that riddle about chins.. Too funny!

    I am jealous. When my husband and I serve a mission when we are older, this is where I want to serve.. In Africa. There is something special about that place to me..

    Great Pictures! Happy Birthday Elder!

  7. Happy Birthday, Elder Langston! I'm sure he's being coddled and spoiled by the amazing Africa people (and "weird" food).
    And I have to agree with Joan and Karen. You DO have great kids! :)
