He's Back!


Last night we headed to Salt Lake International Airport to welcome Elder Andy Andersen home from Germany! A group of us met up at the airport with signs and anxious smiles as we waited for his 10:30pm arrival.

It never gets old watching young elder and sister missionaries return home. We were all crying before we even saw Andy just observing the returning missionaries greeting their families.

We finally spotted him and words can't even describe how awesome it was to see him embrace his family!

Obviously, Dan and I don't have any sons, but we truly love Andy like he is one of our own. It is so great to have him home!




Always the gentleman, Andy pulled out German chocolates for Eva. She talked about those chocolates all the way back to Provo!




Some of us stopped off at Denny's to continue the visiting. We got home around 2:30am and despite the lack of sleep, we loved every minute of it! Thanks Jeanmarie, Jim and family for sharing this with us!
