We heard from Caylen tonight! In fact each of us talked to him for about a half an hour. He has a new companion, Elder Tanavasu. They "hit it off" really well from the start! Elder Tanavasu is at the end of his mission and will be going home in the next month or so. Even though it is -15 degrees and they fight 30-40 mile per hour winds, they are biking and tracking all through the town of Pontiac. He reported that they tracted three straight days this week and never got one call back. It's kind of sad that everyone is so busy at Christmas time, that they don't want to hear about Christ. He doesn't sound discouraged at all, just very interested in the investigators they have and very interested in learning about the gospel.
He talked to Dad and expressed his concern and love for all of the youth in our ward and the leaders. He wanted us to encourage them to live the gospel, not taking it for granted and to do what is right.
He must be eating well, since he reports that he has gained ten pounds. His new companion is about 300 pounds, so he probably still looks a little thin by comparison!
