Homecoming . . .July 9, 2017



We returned, they gathered, we all rejoiced!  It was simply amazing the wonderful show of love and support from family, friends and return missionaries on Sunday as we address the congregation in our home ward and then gathered at our home to visit.  We were simply overwhelmed by the show of love and support by so many - some, but not all, captured below in photo.  We also were blessed by the attendance of several families of missionaries still in-field, which was so kind and thoughtful.  What a wonderful day and way to put a capstone on our three years of service - a blessing and opportunity for which Bonnie and I are eternally indebted to the Lord.  As we inventory our many blessings it overwhelmingly includes over 700 missionaries as eternal friends and fellow servants as well as the love and support of their wonderful families!  We love you!  We honor and cherish you and all that you are doing to "Press Forward" as Saints!  From the bottom of our hearts we THANK YOU!
