After two LOOONNNNGGGG years Dane returned on October 27th from his mission to spread the joy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Costa Rica.
We all arrived at the airport early since we left Smithfield in a blizzard and wanted to make sure to get there safely. Then began more waiting. Chris was tracking the flight on his phone so we knew exactly when it crossed into Utah and when it landed.
I enjoyed visiting with Elder Cowan's and Elder Cook's families who were waiting for their sons who were traveling with Dane. We were rookies compared to them since Elder Cook was the last missionary in his family and Elder Cowan has something like 11 brothers and sisters and 36 nieces and nephews.
Katie made some really cool posters and Ethan added his artwork to the back of the red one:
There are no words to describe the feeling of first seeing Dane come around the corner of the corridor and then feeling him in my arms and hearing him say, "I love you mom!"
