Honorable Return

     





















A beautiful thing happened during August 2018. Our babies, Hansan and Dallan, arrived home from serving the Lord with all their might, mind, and hearts for 2 full years.  Hansan served in the Chile Osorno Mission, and Dallan served in Spain Madrid Mission. It has been an interesting two years as the boys have sent weekly emails sharing  mission stories and the love they have for the people of Chile and Spain. Because of an app called "WhatsApp", they are able to continue a relationship with friends from both countries. The special aspect of their return is that Dallan's mission president helped the boys to meet up in Dallas before flying in on the same plane into Phoenix. Hansan flew into Dallas 8 hours before Dallan. I flew into Dallas to spend that layover time with Hansan and waited for Dallan with him. All three of us were able to sit together on the flight into Phoenix. It was a joy as I watch my boys greet and hug each other at the Dallas airport for the first time in 2 years! It was seriously a tear-jerker. 



All of my children showed up for the twins' return. Everyone except Xiaojun, Noel, Brickman and Lincoln were able to greet them as they flew into the Phoenix airport. Let it be known that I am posting the group picture but I don't like it that Xiaojun and children were missing in the picture. Thankfully everyone will be here for Thanksgiving and we can get a picture of the whole family.
