No snow at home in Idaho, but Oregon sure got some! This is the snowman they built when they got snowed in & couldn't get out and work.
Here poses Elder Kane and Elder Kaumaitotoya (from Fiji). You'd never know from this picture that these 2 did not really get along. Parker is very patient and tolerant & easy going. But...Elder K...was hard for him. After a good "discussion" they started getting along much better. After 6 weeks together Elder K....got transferred to the coast and Elder Kane got a new companion...Elder Plumb. We'll meet him soon.
Elder Kane is loving Oregon!!!
I'd say he's somewhat spoiled in where he lives. The missionaries live in the basement of this home. The Graham's own the home and they own a lot of land....like a lot of land. They run a Christmas Tree Farm and each year they sell over 400,000 Christmas Tree's!
Parker's room...Gotta love the Poky blanket! He said he's so glad he brought it. It makes him feel like home is wherever he is!
Elder Kane just baptized Brandan Marcum. He came from a very rough life and it took Elder Kane getting there to make it all happen. Parker loves this kid and said on his baptism day there wasn't a dry eye in the congregation.
You gotta know Elder Kane would love the dogs - not get chased & attacked by them! I'm sure he is in heaven here!
This is Allyson...she was Elder Kane's first baptism. I sent him a variety of CTR rings & he gave her a silicone one on her baptism day. She to this day has not taken it off!
This little 6 yr old boy was so much fun for Elder Kane. When he got home from school he saw Elder Kane and hurried and opened his brand new Book of Mormon and said he's going to be a missionary too someday!
