"Pay Day" for Elder Craven

This is a picture of Caylen with Sister Cunningham who has been such a blessing to him! She was his "mom" in Moberly and made his birthday and Thanksgiving and Christmas all wonderful and nursed him through a couple of things and drove them everywhere. She's the angel you pray your son has on his mission! We love her!!

Elder Craven has a new companion again. He continues to be in Warrenton, MO with Elder Kadleck who he really likes and they are doing some great things!

One sad thing that happened is that one of the members made a very insensitive comment that really discouraged one of their investigators. They have had some really wonderful investigators that are progressing well. He has also found out that four of the people he taught that were baptized are also planning on temple sealings soon. That is a real pay day for missionaries!!

Hey all!!! For those of you who don't know, Cay has been transfered to Warrenton, Missouri, where he is in a tri (that means he has TWO companions (as if one wasn't enough!!!)) with Elder Waymont and Elder Burrows. If I remember right, Elder Waymont was his companion in Moberly as well. He misses Moberly a lot, but is also really enjoying where he is and who he is with now. Well, he was until the big snow storm this week. They have spent the last several days shoveling snow off cars, driveways and sidewalks for the community. His favorite kind of service, as I recall ;)

They were even featured in the local news, (Here's the link: http://www.kmov.com/video/featured-videos/Snow-report-Steve-Templeton-115131754.html) however, as he says "a REALLY BIG snowstorm in Missouri=an average snowstorm in Utah." It didn't look average to me. His new address is 745 Craig Rd. Ste. 306, Creve Coeur, MO 6314 for anyone interested. We love you all and he really loves to get your letters.

Love, Nat
