Brothers reunited

Noah was so excited to have his Big Brother back home.  Love having all three boys together again.

Reunited Family

Happy Day!!!  Little bit of a stressful morning.  We had an appointment to pick Elder Thomas up anytime after 8.  JoLynn thought 8:01am would be a good time.  Much to her dismay, there is a difference between Mission office and Mission Home.  We were to pick up Willy at the Mission home, but the last email we had received did not give us that info and not knowing the difference, we sat at the office for a long time, no Willy.  After many tears, pacing the parking lot we finally got hold of some missionaries that got us in contact with the Mission President.  We finally made a connection and Willy was soon going to be close to his mom....When saw each other, Payton jumped in front of mom and hugged his brother first, mom just cried and was so happy to see her son again.  Dad and Noah patiently waited for their hugs.  Willy's first words were, boy my brothers grew!  So happy to see Elder Thomas!!!  Now the journey begins to head home to Idaho.

Willy-update

Willy is doing great.  He is a senior companion.  His companion went home so he is with 2 other missionaries for the remainder of his mission.  He is doing great, loving life and happy!!!  He has grown so much and has been so blessed.  He is grateful for all the many letters, love and support he has received.  He got to go and help again with some flood relief.  He says there is a lot of work to be done. Keep up the good work.  We are proud of you.

Willy-update

Willy is doing great.  He is with a companion that will be going home in two weeks.  He is helping a lot with flood relief in Calgary.  He loves doing service and is so blessed to have the opportunity to serve. He said it is sad to see all the damage, but he loves to get dirty and help out. 

Willy-installed lights

Received a text with this picture; Your son got transferred and as sooooo awesome and installed my new lights.  Don't worry we will send him home with lots of love. 
Love to get random messages about how well he is doing. 

JoLynn-surgery

After the last emergency room visit, JoLynn ended up going to a Ear Nose and Throat doctor.  Today she has her tonsils and adenoids out.  Lucky her.  She seems to be doing great.  The next week will be the toughest, but she should pull out of it fine.  Hopefully she will feel better and stop having so many sore throats.  Keep on eating popsicles and sprite!!!

Willy-last 30 days of mission

Willy sent this pictures home this week in his email.  He is such a character.  He is doing great.  Hard to believe that he will be home in a month.  He is doing great and loves the area he is in.  He said that he is most likely going to be helping with the clean up in the areas that have flooded in Canada.  He loves service work.   He has had many reflections on his mission, and is so grateful for the opportunity.  He loves Canada and is going to have a hard time saying good bye to many families.  Great job Elder Thomas, Keep up the good Work.  Love ya!
