Dear familia!
I know, I know, it's been six months, two cities, and three companions since my last update... I apologize, things have been wild.
First, I spent another transfer in Yakima with Elder Powell. He was reassigned from Brazil and was lots of fun. We played a lot of Spikeball and ate a lot of ice cream. At the end of August I was transferred to Wenatchee.
Wenatchee (referred to as We-nasty by jealous non-locals) is a beautiful town on the Columbia River. My first companion here was Elder Deyo. He is from Florida and baked a lot. I also lived with the Elders who head the technology in the zone so we got to work on some fun Facebook content together!
In this transfer I'm still in Wenatchee, still in the same ward. My companion is Elder Gibbons. He was reassigned from Japan! He was there for a year and a half so he knows a lot about Japan and missionary work, so that's great! I'm also living with my trainer, Elder Jervoso, and his companion, which brings back a lot of memories!
Last week and the week before we went on some beautiful hikes in the area, thankfully just before a freezing cold front moved into the valley. We had snow on Friday!
That's all for now, I love you all!
Service, Love, and Truth
Elder Craig
*Editor's Note: Hello, this is Connor's dad. Thank you for checking in on Elder Craig! Just to let everyone know, with COVID and missions in general changing, we are blessed to talk to Elder Connor Craig every week -- on Sundays and Mondays, time permitting. We speak so frequently that he rarely writes letters or emails. As his family, we are fine with that, because we get to hear directly from his mouth weekly -- but we understand that means that many of you who love Connor do NOT get an update. As a family, we apologize. Please feel free to call or text us anytime. You should know that Elder Craig is doing well. He loves the Savior, loves His gospel, and loves missionary work. He has learned to navigate these strange pandemic times, and while it is sometimes frustrating, he's a creative guy and finds ways to accomplish the work. He is also learning a great deal about how his mind works and how to use his talents. He is learning about loving others and the joy of serving others. We are proud of him. Your prayers and emails/letters are always a blessing to him.
