Life still doesn’t seem real. I can’t believe we are home. Suddenly Tobago seems so far away, yet my thoughts are still there wondering if there was bread for the sacrament, who taught the classes, did Alison and Maria make it to sacrament meeting, did Perez get the job, etc.
It was so hard to leave. I didn’t feel like we were finished yet. But then, when are you ever finished?
It was awesome to have so many of you at the airport and at our house at 11 pm when we arrived Wednesday night. It meant a lot to us. We have missed all of you considerably.
A special thanks for your prayers on our behalf. The Lord truly watched over us and angels went before us on so many occasions. I will miss the extra guidance and protection that come with the call to be a missionary. I grew so much in unexpected ways and realize I still have so far to go. We still need your prayers.
We appreciated the blogs and emails from you. We have a greater appreciation for the heritage and blessing that come by our citizenship in the US. The gospel is so strong and vibrant here. The blessing of the temple are easily available here. It was wonderful to be able to feel of your spirits and thoughts through those emails and blogs.

Thank you so much for this post! We are so glad you are back safe and sound. We are so proud of you, yet proud doesn't seem to fit. Thank you for the great example you have set for our kids. I too am grateful for the blogs and e-mail. We have access to your thoughts and feelings so fast and can share them with the kids. We hope to see you ...sometime.....We love you so much:)
