Dear Elder Cahoon;
Sorry, old habits die hard! I mean, wasn't it just the other day, you and Elder Shumway were knocking on the door of 22 Alma Street, in Worcester, England. It was August, 1962. Your bright shiny faces; and nice white American teeth! I thought it strange you both had the same first name, Elder. No name tags in those days!
You both taught me the Gospel; and 10 days after our first meeting we were on our way to Kidderminster in that dark blue Bedford van to be baptized.
You forgot to tell me to bring a towel, and I could invite family and friends, but that's ok.
You opened a door to Eternal Life with our Heavenly Father.
Eventually I made my way to the USA. Married in the Salt Lake Temple; had 8 wonderful children. Some served missions to Japan and Mexico.
I now have 15 grandchildren. It's been a wonderful journey with a few heartaches along the way. But what a beautiful ride!
I've been blessed to stay in touch with you and Craig Shumway all these years; for which I am very grateful.
Hopefully, by now, you have learned to pronounce "Malvern" correctly! lol
Eternally grateful; Much love Carole Silvester Craig
