Devon - week 66

I apologies that emails have been as weekly as they have been.  

It has been a wonderful to see the progress that we are making in our area.  We got to finally meet Br Funk who is struggling in his faith and is a Less Active.  He was honest about how he felt about the Gospel and the spirit was there as he talked about how he wanted to know these things for himself and not to say that he believed it because someone else believed it.  We challenged him to meet with us and we told him that we would teach him as a new investigator in which he said he would

Hi Betsy!  It's Shelley Carson from Meridian, Idaho.  Elder Lowe served in our ward (Green Valley) for quite a while.  Today while driving by a park, one of our son's friends (Emma, who is not a member) saw the missionaries and jumped out of her car to take a picture with them.  She doesn't know Elder Lowe, but sent this picture to Jaden!  Missionary influence is everywhere!  Have a great night.

This was right after we found out Devon had to go to the doctor for an infection on his chin (from a hair follicle).  It was so great to see his face was healed and he was back to normal.
