Alec's mom talking:  I got another little treasure yesterday in the way of a picture text.  They are eating dinner with the Brian and Shelly Gardanier family.  One thing I have noticed in almost all of Alec's pictures is him holding the Book of Mormon.  Not many pictures of him without the book.  He absolutely loves serving his mission and he works really hard.  And if I were to guess why his eyes were wondering in this picture I would say it was because he saw a dog.  He loves his dogs!
