What a great trip we had. We got to finally meet so many wonderful people that I had been corresponding with while we were on the mission.
When Bruce arrived in Utah, (I was already there with my mom) we went to Elder Oldroyd's homecoming. This is him and his mom, Kandace. We surprised him by just showing up at his homecoming and we were surprised to see Elders Johnson, Carlson, and Crossley there. We met Elder Carlson's mother too. We spent the afternoon at the Oldroyd's home after the Sacrament Meeting. It was so nice to finally meet his family. Kandace had been following my blog and we had corresponded through e-mails while we were in Ukraine. Elder Oldroyd was in our District and the District Leader for a very long time so we got to know him really well. It was so good to see his hometown and meet his parents and family.
Elder Crossley, Sam, insisted that we come spend the rest of our trip with him and his family in Alpine Utah. So we found ourselves spending four nights in their home. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time getting to know his family. They were so kind to let us stay with them.
We went out to dinner with Calvin Harris and his fiance, Autumn and Sam and his friend, Shawnee, and Brad and Michelle Pearson. It was so fun to see them all together.
Education Week was awesome as usual.
Bruce and I both enjoyed our classes and the fun part for me was finally meeting Jane Ann Woodhead. JaneAnn had been following the blog and we had corresponded off and on during the mission as well. Her son was in Ukraine with us. Jane Ann and I met for lunch and then we went to some classes together in the afternoon. It felt like reuniting with an old friend.
