My friend Edith

This is my "Sister" Edith Juaneh.  She is from Sierra Leone in Africa and has lived here for over 20 years.  Over the past 3 years she has been my companion to go visit other sisters in our ward.  She's getting older and before she gets too old, she's going back home to Africa to live.  I will miss her.  She has amazing faith, and always has a sweet treat for the sisters we visit.  She pronounces Matthew's name in a unique way that he loves: "Matt-hew".  She gave Lindsey a special necklace with her initial on it when she was baptized and she loves it.  Edith is a good woman.

Now lately when Matthew prays, he prays for those who are sad Sister Juaneh moved, and prays that those that miss her the most, that she'll greet them when they get to heaven.  Since he's not expecting to see her again in this life.  SO sweet.
