Homecoming

Thursday, November 15, 2012

My parents returned home from their mission at Cove Fort, UT on October 12th.  They had spent 18 months giving tours and bearing testimony at the historic site.

My baby brother, Bo, returned from his 2 year mission on November 15th.  We made the traditional sign, playing on his name being BO.  We waited for him at the baggage claim, but he came down a different escalator than where we were standing, so it was pretty anticlimactic.

After the airport, we went to Bo's Stake President's house so he could be released. After hearing a good report from his mission president and hearing Bo's testimony, we headed to the place he really missed while he was gone.  Not home - Sammy's.  We all ate a ton of the good but greasy food then headed back to Mom and Dad's for a slideshow and souvenirs.  That weekend, Lee's family came up for the homecoming talks in the Villa Bonita Ward.  Mom and dad took up all the time - Dad went through the entire Fort Tour, leaving Bo with only enough time to bear his testimony.  After sacrament, we had brunch all together at Mom and Dad's. We are thankful for the service our family gave, but we are happy to be back together again.
