Elder Alton Kalanite Brown

Elder Alton Kalanite Brown
My mom asked me to set up this blog for my brother, Alton aka Elder Brown. We'll be updating this blog by posting his weekly emails and pictures.

We hope Elder Brown's letters and experiences will help someone in some small way.

Thank you for stopping by,

Taiana
(Alton's favorite sister)
