Welcome Home, Elder Phillips V!!!

He's home! It was a perfect reunion and a joyous day. Greg was already in Salt Lake, but the kids and I almost didn't make it to the airport (due to bad weather and traffic). It was nothing short of a missionary miracle that we arrived with time to spare and were there to welcome him off the plane. Garrett attached himself right to Uncle Matt and it only took Matt a day or two to win Abby over. We are so happy he is home and so proud of him for the great work he did in Spain!

The shoes say it all! He was the 5th missionary from his family and signed all of his letters "Elder Phillips V." It made me smile every time. I asked Jan how it felt to be done with missionaries and she pointed at Garrett and said she is far from done and the next generation will probably be harder than the first. Only 14 more years... (or less if they keep lowering the missionary age limit.) ;)
