Heading Home from Mision Mexico Pachuca
It's crazy this is over. We are feeling what our missionaries must feel at the end of their service. Many mixed emotions.
We are greeted at the Las Vegas, Nevada airport by two of our three daughters and their families. What a sweet reunion.

In the Leeds Utah ward for Elder Logan Hayes homecoming talk.
He did an amazing job. Some of the missionaries were in attendance to support him.
This entire weekend was PERFECT!
At 1:00 pm in our home ward we spoke and their were an amazing amount of family, friends, missionaries and their families in attendance.
I spoke about: "Tender Mercies and Miracles in our everyday lives and gave examples of those tender mercies from the mission"
President spoke about: "The Miracle of a Mission and what to do to prepare for that miracle to happen."
The missionaries in attendance surprised us with a special musical number and sang Presidents favorite hymn. "I know that my Redeemer Lives"
The Spirit was so strong and we just cried as it just touched our hearts in an indescribably way. I don't think their was a dry eye in the chapel either.
Then everyone headed back to the house for some lunch.
I'm sorry I didn't get more pictures but I was so busy socializing that my daughter finally grabbed the camera. So thanks to her we have record of this weekend. But we are missing pictures of a ton of missionaries and their families. And I totally apologize. We are so grateful for the love and support of everyone, expressed through their kind words and efforts in spending this weekend with us.
It was truly INCREDIBLE
Missing all our missionaries back home in Pachuca. And sending you our love!
Don't know what I would have done without these two BFF's.
They kept everyone fed and the house in order.
Several of my friends from work came and supported us. Totally touched my heart!
Our grandson Tucker feeling like he is a Latino!
He loved all those returned sister missionaries.
(He did have a shirt on during the party this was after when we were cleaning up)

So at the end we took a picture but over half the missionaries had left to drive back to their homes. We felt so bad we didn't get an entire group picture.
So below I will list all that were in attendance from the mission.
My memory is fading so if I forgot someone please message me I want this for record.

So many amazing people.
