Issue 49 Utah Edition
Hi! My name is Eric DeVries, I transferred out to Salt Lake from our Chicago branch early last
year in 2013. This has been the best move for
my family with dual appreciation toward both
Robert-James Sales as well as our welcoming
church home out here, Prince of Peace
(popslc.org) which is a sister congregation to
the church in Palos Heights back in the Chi-
cago area (mentioned in Issue 41 – March,
2012 PIPELINE.) Because not finding a
healthy church that is a member of the Wis-
consin Evangelical Lutheran Synod would
have honestly been a deal breaker for me, this
made me a bit nervous at first. This church not
only made a great first impression, it has sur-
passed all of my/our expectations. Although I
have moved around a bit before my years with
Robert-James with mostly the Marine Corps
and can find enjoyment and excitement in a big
move, my wife Kristene has never been much
more than walking distance from her home and
family for any extended period of time before
this
leap out west. This was also a concern. But our
new church family out here has made the transi-
tion for her, our daughter Priscilla and I so com-
fortable, the mere thought of going back is not
even in question. With the scenery, landscape, cul-
ture, and the new family out here just west of the
Rockies, all we want to do is encourage everyone
we know to move out near us rather than us wish-
ing to be back with them. My family and I are
very pleased with this move and want to thank
Robert-James for making this scary yet exciting
transition into the unknown possible. It has been
very much worth it. Thank you.
