He's Home!!

We woke up on Wednesday, Jan 25, to a notice that Josh's plane would land 45 minutes early, so we hurried and got ready and got to the airport.   Eva and Mom watching Josh's plane coming into the gate. The best hugs are the long awaited airport hugs!! Eva went right to Josh, and wasn't too shy around him.  Seeing him on FaceTime her whole life, and the squashed josh heads all around made it so she already knew who he was.  She gave him a hug right away!

Now, I'm with Elder Lima. We had a mission conference not too long ago which was so fun to see everyone all together but i had to give my last testimony which was short and sweet because I didn't wanna cry. Today (Tuesday) was my last district council, and that was sad too.  It's weird to have so little time that I have to think about how much fruit I'm gonna eat because I'll go home before it goes bad. It's hard to think about home and I don't feel like I'm going because for the past 2 years my only thoughts have been about the mission and my

December 12 Josh went into a trio with Elder Siren and Mayall.  He likes both of these Elders so it's going to be a good time.    Josh and Elder Siren are 3 down, 3 in.
