Elder Kevin is Home!

Last week we went to Utah to pick up Kevin who just finished his mission in the Utah Ogden mission. We went to Grandma Wright's house first, and woke up on April 16th to this!


We had Kevin's Honda Passport, which Alicia had been driving for a bit at law school, and it was nuts to see what I had to clean up before we could go.


We go up to Ogden about 9:30 and had a fun time meeting some companions and the mission president and his wife.


On the far right is Elder Millett, who we had actually met before Kevin went into the MTC while shopping for suits in Provo a little more than 2 years ago. They were good friends throughout their missions.


His mission president if from England and has a fun Cockney accent. She is a kick and was great for Kevin.


He has kept us continually spell bound with his stories.


Hoa enjoyed the story about the bike wreck at Utah State, Hoa's alma mater that left Kevin's companion in a heap on the pavement.


Nate is a bit dubious about Kevin's description of a mission as being fun!


Grandma is just amazed at the heritage that she and Grandpa have fostered!


Older brother Nic can't believe how big the guy is!


Mom is just happy to have him home!


He seems to be adjusting well!


Meanwhile the weather in Oregon is a bit different that in Utah. Try 80 degrees!

(Thanks to Hailey for the close up shots of family members. She was using my camera, but practicing as she is getting an SLR in the next few days)
