Finally we have some pictures!!
They arrived via snail mail and by a lovely email from a family in the Oxnard III ward. They were there saying goodbye, since the both of them are being transfered to new areas and to new companions.

(he takes these pictures to taunt me...the California girl misses the beach!!)

Note attached to the emailed photos:

Good morning, I am Jill, and have had the pleasure of having your sons for our missionaries in the Oxnard III ward. They will be transferred today and so they came by to take pictures with our family last night. You have such wonderful boys both with a great understanding of the gospel. I have watched Elder Stephenson grow so much- he is a different person from the day he got here. Elder Cannon has taught our family so much. I hope you know you have wonderful son's.


I miss my boy so very much!! I miss his face and his company...so Im posting fun pictures of him...for ME to enjoy.
