Elder Higley

Jeron, Elder Higley w/ Davis, Jadee & Elder Fechser

We were so excited last year to find out that Jeremiah's cousin, Eric, had been called to the Nevada Las Vegas West Mission. We have been hoping for a year that he would come to serve in our ward. About a month ago, our hope was made reality and Elder Higley was transferred to the Stead Ward. We had the Elders over for dinner on Sunday. They got to stay a little longer than usual, as Elder Fechser still needed to call home to wish his mom a happy Mother's Day. It is always great to have the missionaries in our home...but having family is even better! We can tell that they are great missionaries, obedient, and hard-working. I had to take a picture. It reminded me of the missionaries in Iceland. Heather, Tim and I were about the same ages as our kids. We had the missionaries over a lot. Missionaries are so great! Thanks, Elders, for your service! Come back soon!

That is so neat! Really, what were the chances of that being able to happen?

Gives me hope that while Andrew is in Iowa he'll be able to do the same with his cousin Mindy.

Brings back great memories. Were you girls really that little. Hard to believe.
