Welcome Home Elder Butler!!!

We got to drive to the Salt Lake Airport to see Daniel come home from his mission. His other flights got in so late that it was either he stay in a hotel in SLC and fly to Idaho Falls the next morning or go to SLC to get him. Mom and Dad chose to drive to SLC. It was a different experience than Idaho Falls would have been, for sure. There were LOTS of other missionaries on the same flight. The flight landed 20 minutes late. Everyone was super anxious to see their missionary. All of the missionaries decided to wait and come out together. Some of the elders wanted to shave before they came to see their families, so they went to the bathroom while everyone waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited some more. Eventually they came around the corner and started coming down the stairs to lots of cheers and yells, etc. It was great. It was hard for all of them to find which family was theirs because there were so many people there. Luckily we were close the front and Daniel spotted us rather quickly. We are so glad to have him home. What a blessing!!! It was worth the drive to see him come home, although I hope that David can fly into IF. I like fewer people and a more intimate setting. We got home at 1:30 am and Mom and Dad made it home at 2:00 am, after three stops for food and restroom.


The Missionaries coming down the escalator, FINALLY!!!!

All of us, minus Linden the photographer.

I am still behind a few posts, but I thought family in other states would enjoy seeing the pictures. Wish you could be here with us, Edwin, Jennifer, Grace, Anne, and baby and Paul, Grant and Tucker.
