Arriving Home

From Mom: On Tuesday, September 26, Jackson arrived home at the Seattle International Airport. Because his plans changed a week, we took him with us to Nauvoo the next day. There is nothing like driving to the airport back-to-back days. Jack's accent is fun to listen to and he has lost quite a bit of weight. Mostly, I just need to give him a haircut.

It took just a moment to clean him up. Then the unpacking and repacking began. President Flake was kind enough to drive to our home and released him and hear a few stories.

The next day he was laying in the grass at Independence, Missouri. He really missed grass. Naturally, this is Jackson County.

All the wonderful missionaries were excited to hear that Jackson was just recently released. We enjoyed an afternoon in the Nauvoo Temple before the beginning of General Conference.

We flew in and out of Omaha where these incredible sculptures are installed around the city.

The memorial to children who died at Winter Quarters is behind the temple. 

This sculpture of Joseph and Hyrum Smith is directly in front of the Nauvoo Temple.

What a success!
