I believe that I mentioned that we had 22 missionaries going home this week on Wednesday.  Well they left and Elder Wallace's father said he would take a picture of them when they arrived at the SLC airport because 16 were getting off there.  Here is the picture:

It brought a tear to my eye!  You can see the Elders on one side and the sisters on their other.  Their eyes tell the story of when they see their families.  There are also 2 elders in the middle on the stairs.  I think two were either already on the floor or stopped at the restroom because I could only count 14 and there were 16 that got on the plane!  Sister Hegstrom's mother said there was 4 planes that arrived in the SLC terminal and each plane had about 20 missionaries on it.  What a great day for these missionaries to arrive home after fulfilling a wonderful mission and giving their all!  I am sure our Heavenly Father was smiling also!

Merry Christmas
