Not a coincidence

One of the new missionaries, Elder Scott, is assigned to begin his mission serving on the island of St Vincent. Wednesday (transfer day), as he was getting into the car to leave for the airport, two Elders arrived for a quick stop at the mission home. It just 'happened' (I don't believe in coincidences) that one of them was Elder Bowens. He is from St Vincent and was baptized a year and a half ago and is now serving his mission in the West Indies Mission. When they met, Elder Bowens threw his arms around Elder Scott in delight and then proceeded to tell him about all the people he needed to contact on the island.



Here is another fun story about Elder Bowens. He was taught the gospel and helped with his reading skills by West Indies missionary Elder Bishop who later became his very first missionary companion.
