Welcome Home, Elder Hall!

At the end of June, we welcomed Dillon home from Kenya, Africa, after serving those good people for two years. It was so great to see him come through the Customs door at the Calgary Airport. I've had a hard time uploading these photos, and they look hodge podge, but you can see a couple of the signs we had up, and the Kenyan flag on top of the mill with a huge yellow ribbon Don made to welcome him home since it was at night. It was lit up on top there! The last photo is of the Sunday after his return after he reported his mission at church. We had a nice family dinner in our yard and he shared a little about his time in Africa. It was so special. I love having him home! Here he is arriving!
He couldn't miss us with these fun balloons!












Don up on the mill auger attaching the Kenyan flag and a huge yellow bow ribbon that lit up at night! 


















This mom was so excited to have her boy home.














Signs on the garage door, welcoming him. Don created the poem!














Dillon speaking to the crowd who came to support him and to have a delicious meal. It was a beautiful day!

  2. I'm sad to have missed his little report in the backyard there. Dill is so cool, eh?
