Sariah's Home and Moving On to New Adventures!

We greeted Sariah at the airport last Friday. She was returning home from her mission in far away Uruguay. She looked great!


It was SO good to see her. We hugged for a very long time...

...and shed tears of joy.

She appreciated our home grown flower bouquet.

We are very happy to have our smiling, hard working missionary back home again. We really missed her. We're glad, though, that she was able to share the gospel with so many and have experiences that will bless her entire life.

The first thing Sariah wanted to do was to stop at Walmart to shop for all the stuff she had to leave behind because her luggage was too heavy.


Sariah was released from her mission that evening. She had a very hard time taking off that missionary badge. I think she was ready to hop on the plane and return to those wonderful people in Uruguay.

Sariah and Cami drove to Utah on Tuesday to look for jobs and help their big sister, Elly. They both had jobs within the first couple of hours of the hunt Wed. morning. Sariah will return to work at the care center she worked at before her mission. Cami will be working in the bookstore on campus. What a blessing! Both girls are excited. A million thanks, Jacob, for the referral!

Welcome home Sariah! Congratulations on the two girls finding jobs so quickly in Provo! That is an accomplishment!
I read up on your blog...fun vacation and gma time! The frog was strange to have gotten in the door handle...I had to blow it up to see how it was sitting. Cool picture.
Sounds like all is going great with your family. That is always good news!
