Spencer is home!! Oh how 2 years has flown by. It has been so fun to have him serving a full time mission in the Ukraine, and setting such a great example for my boy's. He is such a stud!!
We were invited to the airport to welcome him home tonight. His flight was supposed to arrive at 8:15pm, but we were surprised at about 7:45, when a woman approached my sister in law Tiffani and asked if we were waiting for some LDS Missionaries. She said we were and the woman told her that they were on her flight and they were waiting to be the last people to walk out into the lobby area. (There was 1 other Elder that flew into Utah with Spencer.)
It wasn't 2 minutes later that we could see Spencer walking toward us. He hadn't changed a bit. He was smiling from ear to ear as Tiffani, Sarah and Sage all ran towards him. They hugged him so tight. Next was John who gave him a nice big hug. You could see the love in Spencer's face as he hugged his Dad. Then he saw his brother Shaun and they hugged as well. It was so neat to watch the excitement that he had to see his family. Spencer made the rounds telling everyone Hello, giving them a hug and posing for pictures.
It was so neat to be a part of this incredible night. Jake and Jackson were so excited to be there and see Spencer. It was a great experience that I hope they will remember and cherish. I hope they retain the feeling they felt that night, knowing that Spencer had served a 2 year mission for our Heavenly Father, he had loved it and done a Great job!! What a Super example he is for Jake and Jackson. My wish is that they will follow in Spencer's footsteps and do the same!!
