Back in June, Gabo mentioned that they had grilled chicken. We finally got the pics, and it looks like Landon's going to be a "Master Chef", just like his dad :) Check out the slideshow here
Elder Landon Lee Rich is serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He is serving in the Peru Lima North Mission from October 2007 to October 2009.
Landon was raised in Morgan, a small town in the mountains of northern Utah about 50 miles north of Salt Lake City. He is the youngest in his family, and has two older siblings on earth and one in heaven. He is very much loved.
His smile, fun-loving personality, and love for everyone is what you will notice first about Landon. He is loving his mission and the people of Peru.
Any Questions?
