Logan is on his way home!

I hope my brother doesn't mind, but now I'm getting excited.  They got this in the form of a text this morning.  My nephew Logan is 3rd from the left - we are going to Idaho Falls to the airport to greet him tonight - Whoo Hoo - can't believe it has been 2 years!



Dear Parents...

Well, they're on their way home...and we hope your reunion a few hours
from now is a sweet one!

We had a great couple of days with them.  Wednesday, they all bore
powerful testimonies at Transfer Meeting, said goodbye to their
companions, then spent a few hours at the LDS Welfare Complex--where
they worked in the Cannery, toured the Bishops Storehouse (second only
in size to Salt Lake's), learned about the Church's worldwide
humanitarian efforts then had a brief career workshop, courtesy of LDS
Employment Services. (Normally we take them to a session at the
Atlanta Temple, but it is now closed for 18-months for renovations).
That was followed by a departure dinner along with some great
discussion and other activities, personal interviews with President
King and everybody's favorite--weighing the luggage (fortunately,
everyone came in at 50-pounds per bag or less after major re-
shuffling!).  After a few good hours of sleep and a big breakfast...it
was off to the airport.

Thank you again for the sacrifices you've each made to have your
missionary serving with us here in the Georgia Atlanta North Mission.
We are so appreciative of their service and will cherish the
memories.  They'll be our treasured friends forever!  We hope they
will all stay in touch!



Love,

President and Sister King (and Connor)

Georgia Atlanta North Mission

oh how funny! What a small world! My best friend's son also recently came home from that same mission! Ask your nephew if he ever knew Justin Hill..... He's a tall blonde from Washington State.

Glad your nephew is coming home! What fun for your family!!!

I'll ask him - it's amazing how small this world can be - especially in the church. By the way Sandy - I think you have handled a tough situation with dignity - I'm proud to call you my friend!
