There he goes, here he comes!

Our last couple of months have been spent sending off one missionary and getting ready for one to come home! Jordan left August 19 to serve in the Auckland, New Zealand mission, speaking Tongan. He has been in the MTC 6 weeks and loves everything about it!

On September 30, we met Adam in New York City as he returned from Russia!

And the rest of the family met us at the airport!


The next day, Adam went to the MTC and met Jordan and visited for about 30 minutes.
They enjoyed their time together, both being missionaries!

Later that afternoon, Adam was released as a full-time missionary! It is great to have him home, but we know he misses his friends and his work in Russia. He quickly set up a Facebook page and downloaded Skype and has already talked to friends in Russia!
We love having missionaries! We love the lessons they learn and the service they give, and though we miss them a ton, we love the people they have become when they come home!

Welcome Home Adam! It was so nice of Adam to come and see me saturday night I was worried I might not get to see him before I came back up to school.
