Trip Home , Arrival Home, End of Full-Time Mission

Trip Home --- We left Nauvoo on Monday afternoon and arrived home on Wednesday afternoon.  It was sad leaving Nauvoo, the temple and the wonderful people there.  The trip home was long but we looked forward to being home.  The scenery was pretty good in certain parts of the country.  Below are some photos we took.  We live in a beautiful, wonderful country.  We finished our almost 12 months of service which we very much enjoyed.  We are now entering another chapter in our lives.  




Arrival home --- When we got home we saw the yellow ribbons on the trees and light poles and the nice Welcome Home sign on our door.  Of course, because of the restrictions on gathering together and our self-isolation for 14 days, we didn't have anyone at home welcoming us in person.  However, there were several in the ward who called us to welcome us.




End of Full-time Mission -- That evening we were released by our Stake President - President Soffe via FaceTime.  It was different being released this way but the conversation was wonderful .  He was very gracious and kind.  He said there are 40 full-time missionaries in our stake that are coming home from their missions.  We have now been released from our full-time mission.
