The homecoming

Well, here it is!  The final blog for Elder Williams...

Here are some pics from the mission home:

The final transfer!

The only three American's are the white boys!  Quinten, Farmer and Williams.  They were together in the MTC and stayed till the end!  Quinten and Williams even came home all the way to SLC together.  We had a great time getting to know the Quinten family at the airport as we both waited for our missionaries to come home.

 I am not sure what this dinner is, but it sure looks yummy!

Obviously it is very yummy, this is what happened when it was announced that there were seconds available!  Look who is at the front of the line!!!

sock contest

I don't think this is Elder Williams' sock, but I am sure it isn't far off!

shoe contest

Again I don't think these are specifically Elder Williams shoes, but the top parts sure looks like what he showed us.

Off to the airport!

The family takes off to got to the airport...

Grandparents and Brennin waiting for arrival.

Grandparents waiting and talking together.

The grandparents were to be the sign holder helpers and the photographers!

Brennin was just running off energy as usual!

Sister Quinten in the green sweater.

It was great to meet the Quinten family!  Elder Quinten lives in Price, UT, but we sure hope he and Elder Williams still keep in touch and maybe even get together a few times.

It's almost time!  Roll out the banner!!!

We had three banners:
1. Bienvenidos
2. Chinese Welcome Home (Brennin's)
3. We love EWILL!

Two Moms run for it.

Finally in Mom's arms!!!!!

I saw Elder Williams as he was coming down the hallway and started to run for him.  Then I realized (and heard the guard say) there was a red line and "No Entry" sign.  I had to stop at the red line and wait for Elder Williams to come to me!









It was so great to hug our sons!!!!!

Hey there still little brother!

 A hug for Brennin!

Who is this big guy?????

Reuniting with Garrin...who has grown and changed the most!

Talking with the Grandparents!

Two missionaries finally HOME!

We talked and hugged so long that the luggage was taken off the carousel. 













A captive audience! (notice there are NO more people anywhere behind the boys!)

First meal in the USA!

We had to stop off at Leatherby's to eat!  Can't pass up the fries, fry sauce, chicken fingers and ice cream!
















FRY SAUCE!  (Much better than hot sauce!)

Welcome Home Banner!!!!

What is he doing???

The first thing Collin did was take off his shoes and scream, "CARPET"!  This was the first time in two years that he has had carpet instead of dirt and tile.  

wonderful carpet!

Just enjoying life's little pleasures!



Still trying to get the welcome video from one phone to the other and onto the blog!  Will have to do an update in a while.  Going shopping!!!!
