She's Home!!! Welcome Home Sister Rose

 What an AMAZING day!!!  There's nothing like seeing your child come off the airplane after not seeing her for 18 months!  It was so funny because we got there early and we were all ready and there is a big screen showing people as they come off the escalator. Well we were all set up on the side Emma was supposed to come out and all of a sudden the screen showed her walking off the other side!!!!!  So we had to make a mad dash to be there when she came out :)  It was so fun to give her a squeeze!  I'm so proud of all the hard work and dedication she had.  She was an amazing missionary and I know these 18 months have changed her for good.  It was so fun having my mom here!  













We couldn't get over the fact that Eva is taller than Emma now!  Wow how things change!




It was so funny because right as Gavin was getting Emma's suitcase off the conveyer belt it POPPED open!!!!  ha ha ha it made it through Luke's mission and Emma's and it gave up on the final day!  I'm so glad it made it as long as it did!  ha ha ha.  I guess Gavin won't be using it :)  ha ha ha

Good thing Gavin is strong, he carried it like this to the car :) ha ha ha




It was so fun to see the dogs get so excited to see Emma....and for her to see them.  Rainey is getting old so we were praying she would be here when Emma came home.  



Emma's request for her first meal home was the Freakin Incan. 


And then we went to President Watson's house to have her released.  It was so special to hear her talk about the things she learned, the companions she loved, and most especially how her relationship with the Savior has grown.  What a special day!!!





It broke my heart to watch her take off her name badge that she has worn everyday for 18 months.  I know it was hard for her.  What an amazing sacrifice and labor of love for the Savior! Well done Emma, I know Heavenly Father is pleased!

Hey yall!! Its been a good past couple weeks!! We are just workin hard and loving every second! Its been a good time. Let's get into it..... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend went from nervous to excited when she learned of her new best friend: the Holy Ghost! You don't realize, or maybe you just take for granted the incredible gift you have until a child opens your eyes. "Why are you so excited to be baptized Maite?" She replies: "Because then I won't be alone anymore." #precious • Our friend Alejandra is literally so precious! She is so ready to be baptized!! She's getting baptized this Saturday!! Yay! We taught her about fasting and she goes " Oh I actually learned about that yesterday at church and I decided to do that today!!" She had literally been fasting when we taught her about fasting! #presh • A guy that we had talked to so briefly and got his number didn't reply to us for a bit a week. He finally r...

  Hey yall! Another great work in Kingman. Sometimes I feel like I am not in America and this was one of those weeks. I love it! Let's get into it.... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend Linda is just THE best ever. She is so short, the top of her head literally comes to the bottom of my ribs. But she is just like our little grandma. I love her. Guess what!?! Her baptism day is upon us! Long awaited, but it is this Saturday and she is so so so excited!! She told us yesterday that she just feels so ready! She feels like she has done the work(which she for sure has) and she feels ready to make this covenant with God. That is what the Atonement of Jesus Christ does for you people!! It brings you confidence. Confidence in the Lord and confidence in your abilities through Jesus Christ!! • We had a lesson with a returning member and his fiancé, Shi. Shi said that she wants to learn more about baptism and work towards it!! Such a miracle! They have gone through a ...
