My brother Andrew returned from his mission to Munich, Germany and Austria. He came home Friday night. It is so good to have him back. He seems the same in a lot of ways and yet older and mature in many other ways. It is so fun having our family together again.
It was an exciting homecoming yet very unique. You may have noticed that we are not at the airport as most families are when they welcome home a missionary. Here is a condensed story of why our family did not meet Andrew at the airport:
Andrew itinerary to come home said he would arrive at 8:50 pm on Friday May 14th. However, when Andrew got to the airport with three other missionaries who were also flying home to SLC airport he noticed his airplane ticket was two hours later than the others' tickets. He figured he had the wrong ticket and need to stay with a companion so he changed it ticket for the earlier flight assuming that was the flight he was supposed to be on.
Although I wise choice to fly home earlier and with other missionaries my family had no idea. So at 7:00 pm we get a phone call from Andrew at the airport telling us that he is home--2 hours earlier than we were excepting him.
We quickly start rallying the troops to head up to the airport when Andrew calls back a second time and tells us that he is getting a ride with another Elder who lives is Alpine. So, 45 minutes later we welcome home Andrew at our house. It was different, definitely unique, and special.
Glad to have you home Andrew!
