Homecoming

My cousin Christopher came home from his mission in New York the week of mother's day. We were all pretty excited.


The family came in town and it was a fun weekend full of food, games, and visiting with Christopher. We got to be present when he was released because the stake leader just came to the house and did it and had Jon and Kristy and Chris share some thoughts and testimony. I had never been around for any of that cool missionary stuff and it was a neat experience. There was a sweet spirit present especially as they all bore testimony that they knew that Chris had served a faithful mission and that they all knew it was where he was supposed to be, even when Chandler died. Missions are great things!
We have also had the missionaries over for dinner a couple of times which has been really fun for Matthew. He really loves the missionaries and it is a good example and I love seeing him get excited about going on a mission.
