Our Missionary Sons

 
Chase has a new companion ... Elder King ... from Alabama. Chase's first impressions of his new comp is that he is excited about missionary work and is a very respectful person and has a sense of humor.  He is also 6'8" ... makes Chase look short ... Funny huh!
 

They met a lady that seems to be struggling right now with cancer/leukemia and is in need of love and encouragement. Chase is trying to think of ways to help her and show love to her, so he asked BrittanyJo if she could make some covers for the lady because she has a Hickman Line (like Terry has).  We sent some line covers/envelopes to Chase to give to this lady and he has reported that "she absolutely loves them". (BJo has a few hundred already made for us to take to SCCA.)

Chase met a Brother (Carl) Grimmer at a ward meeting a couple weeks ago.  Small world!

Connor was able to baptize two people a couple weeks ago and is so grateful for that "major highlight" of his mission.  He and his comp "opened"  Titusville (first missionaries in the area) and Connor feels so blessed to help bring these two people unto Christ. Others were on their way to baptism, but Connor won't be there with them. 
He is moving on now ... he was transferred to Towanda. Only there about a week and has learned that there are a few people in Towanda that have lived in WA State or know someone who does.  One is a Brother Mayo who knows Brother Brown who "watched the Hebdon kids grow up". We know Brother Brown :) (Hi Brother Brown!) 
Small world indeed!

Though he misses the special people in Titusville, Connor is happy to be where he is and says his companion, Elder Woodruff, is a great comp.


Sorry no photo of Connor, just his comp.

We just got an email from Pennsylvania ... the missionary couple there, Elder and Sister Jackson, sent us an email telling us that they love our son and giving us a blog address.  I checked it out and found this photo.
