Michael returns home from his mission - October 27, 2010







There are few things more joyful than a missionary reunion. I hold them right up there with babies being born and weddings! We were so excited for Michael to come home from his mission. We've been on a high for some time now. My parents were able to come for the wonderful event, and we had such a special time with them. Michael was as sweet and humble as ever as he arrived home. We are so grateful for him and feel so blessed to have him as our son. Thank you Michael for your incredible example!

The day after Michael came home, and was released as a missionary.






This was a happy, and yet emotional day – especially for Michael. He loved being a missionary so much, and it was hard for him to have his missionary badge removed. However, we enjoyed the day together. On the day Michael was released, Tanner's mission papers were sent in to Salt Lake. How great is that?
