Elder Justin Goodale Returns

Our son Justin served in the Oklahoma Tulsa Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from November 13, 2008 to November 19, 2010 (his mission blog here), and it was SOOOOOO good to see him when he came home Friday night. The video below, at the airport of Justin coming out of the terminal and hugging Mom, says it all.



To the left here is a picture of all eight of us, together again for the first time in two years.

We've had a great weekend catching up with Justin and learning so much about his past two years. Hearing of all his stories and experiences, triumphs and discouragements... of all the friends he's made and of the areas he lived in.

Thanks to all the family and friends who came to the Boise airport Friday night to welcome Justin home. We probably had about 30 people there, and we appreciate you all coming out.

Michelle and I know from experience how hard it is to readjust to "normal" life, but Justin is doing great. Now it's time to start submitting job applications, getting ready to go back to school, and so on.

You can see all of the pics we took from Friday night here on Flickr.
