Mother's Day Phone (Skype) Call From Barry

We were able to visit with Barry for a while tonight and he is doing well. Thanks to Brother and sister Bowman for giving him the means to communicate with us. As you can see from this photo he is content in what he is doing. That came through loud and clear in our conversation with him. He is getting along well with his new companion Elder Badal. We prayed that he would have a good first companion to train him and it appears those prayers have been answered. We had a chance to talk for a moment with his companion and were impressed. He is very positive. Barry is enjoying visiting with people in that area. They have several people they are teaching and he says they are good people. They are in a small branch in Louden, Tennessee. He is in a car area and he was assigned to be the driver in the companionship. They are required to ride a bike one day a week in their mission but for the next week and a half will be driving because his companion injured his foot. It was great being able to visit with him. We will be able to talk to him again at Christmastime and look forward to that.We will get an e-mail from him tomorrow, his p-day, so there may be a new post tomorrow if we learn something new.
