Our senior missionaries have returned!
Wow, the big day is here. We were so excited to meet Joy & Max at the airport. You know, you picture in your mind them coming down the escalator, the huge crowd gathers with a sign, and all the girls just cry, while everyone tries to get their hugs in...
As we all checked online to make sure the flight status was up to date, we noticed the plane was going to be an hour late. Joy's cousin that works at the airport even checked and kept in touch saying, "yes, it's late". Well, just a few minutes after their scheduled arrival time, Joy called and asked, "where is everyone?" The phones started ringing and we all rushed to the airport to find them standing on the curb with their bags. (Apparently the airline computers were incorrect) Grandpa was so anxious to get his bags in the car and get home that he could hardly stand still for a group picture. Kevin was out looking for Aunt Bobbie, making sure she wasn't lost. It was kinda hectic and crazy, and not such the excitement we plan in our heads. (Lillian even spent about 2 hours making the sign!!) Their welcome home BBQ went about the same, as they arrived as we were leaving. But we all have them for the rest of forever, so we'll get lots of time to catch up. Welcome home, Max & Joy. We're super proud of you and the 4 missions you have served. Job well done!
