Smores anyone?
Gorgeous sunset.

Craig
has now been in Moorcroft five and a half months. A few weeks ago Elder Smith was transferred to Fargo to be a zone leader.
Craig's new companion is Elder Bair. He is from Idaho and I think that is him in the picture of the couple that is getting
baptized. Craig survived the very cold winter. I think Craig continues to be blessed because he was in the warmest part of
his mission for the whole winter and people commented all winter that it never got as cold as it usually does! Craig
struggles with sleep problems but we think he has some medication that is helping with that and hopefully spring will also
help his sleep cycles. He also has struggled with back and shoulder pain. We bought him a different kind of back pack and
are hopeful that will help him. Overall his spirits are good. He is feeling more like a missionary all the time. Even though
it is such a small town they continue to teach people and have had a few baptisms! We are thrilled he has passed his 6 month
mark and in a couple weeks he will have one third of his mission behind him. We received another email a couple weeks ago
from some members that are very impressed with him and touched by his story. We, of course, think he is very special and are
very proud of the work he is doing. It is certainly difficult for him, probably more so then most, but he has a love and determination
that is seeing him through. His address has not changed and your continued support is appreciated by him... us too!!! =]

Craig served in Casper until November 9th
when he was transferred to Moorcroft, Wy. On October 24th, they baptized 3 people and on November 7th, they baptized one more
and Craig had the priviledge of doing the baptism. While serving in Casper we had many people contacting us via phone calls,
emails, text messages, and text pictures. They all wanted to tell us how much they loved and appreciated Craig and they wanted
to thank us for sharing him with them. It was comforting to us to know he was being taken care of! Moorcroft is a very small
town - population 807! They opened this area and cover two small branches. They do lots of service there as well as teaching.
It is very cold there and they get tell him it doesn't snow much there because it is too cold. His new address is:
PO Box 552
Moorcroft, WY 82721

Craig is in Casper, Wyoming. He likes his companions, Elder Owens & Elder Pugmirer.
They are zone leaders and they drive a car which is good because it snowed the first day he got there. It is already very
cold there!! I got a picture text today from someone I don't know. I opened it to see Craig! It is our first missionary picture
of him. It was so good to see him after a month and 2 days! I sent a thank you message and asked who they were. They
replied back and thanked us for sharing him with them and said he is such a great person! That, of course, brought several
tears to my eyes!!! Fasting for him brings interesting blessings!!!!
His current address is: 2401 Grandview Place 17, Casper, Wyoming 82604. Or, you can always send a letter to the
mission home.

Craig is flying to Rapid City tomorrow
(9/28). He will be there for a day or two before being sent to his first area. We are very excited to see where he winds up.
Missionaries are allowed to call home from the airport so we are hoping for a phone call from him. Craig only told us that
he leaving on Monday - he forgot to say what time. Guess we will be waiting by the phone. The MTC went pretty well. He really
liked his companion, Elder Tippetts, and his district. They were able to go to the temple a couple of times too. He celebrated
his 20th birthday there. We sent 2 dozen Tasty's donuts of which he said he got about a half of one. Donuts don't last long
there. Apparently newspaper sport sections don't either. All in all Craig sounds in good spirits and is ready to get out in
the field. He has said in a couple letters that he has taken lots of pics but we have not seen them yet. Maybe soon we will
post some. Thanks to all who wrote him while he was there. His mission home address is:

departing for Rapid City. He was excited to get started, but the goodbye was a little emotional!
