He served his mission in the Massachusetts Boston Mission, which includes most of Massachusetts, all of Rhode Island, and parts of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut. During his mission, our son served in Keene, New Hampshire, Quincy, Massachusetts, Lowell, Massachusetts, and Manchester, Connecticut.
We hadn't seen our son in person for two years, so as you can imagine, the reunion we had with him at the airport was wonderful! This is a picture of him hugging his dad.
And here they are together waiting for our son's luggage.
Our son loved his mission and served faithfully. He returned with honor. We recently received two emails and a letter from people in the areas where he served. They had such kind words to say about our son and his service while he was on his mission. It was heartwarming and touching to read what they said about him. The following paragraph is an excerpt from one of the emails that we received:
"I just want to tell you how grateful we are to you and your family for being willing to share your son with us for a short time. He is a wonderful missionary and carries the Spirit with him wherever he goes. He has been a great influence on our family and the members of our ward. We will miss him so much, but we are also very excited for you to welcome him home after a 2-year absence. Just know that he has served faithfully and has helped to change many lives for the better. We know he will continue to do so as he returns home and moves on with the next chapter of his life."We're so proud of our son's selfless service to our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ and to the people in New England. Well done son! And welcome home!
