For all the beloved missionaries who have been such an important part of la Misión México Veracruz
When you get bumped to business class on your final flight home!
intermission hug from the mama...
lots of tears...
happy tears, sad tears, disappointed tears, relief tears
after spraying his luggage with disinfectant,
a quick picture!
driving home, he says "Hey mom! look!"
We invited family and a few neighbors to line the corner and
cheer for Elder Thompson as we pulled up to our house.
As a family, we're all quarantining together,
so yes...hugs all around!
truer words have never been written
glad to see he didn't lose his sense of humor!
He picked these up for all the men in the family!
Elder Thompson's first social media post after arriving home.
