Griff arrived home February 26 to the Salt Lake City Airport. We all rode down together in Uncle John's 15 passenger van. Lee, Anna and the girls, Whitney and Dave Jackson and Jessica Seppi met us there. We are all so excited! His plane was about 15 minutes late which added to the excitement. He traveled home with another missionary, Elder Stone. It was fun to get to know their family. Austin and Ben went up on the escalator to watch for him to come and gave us the thumbs up when he was coming. I was so excited I started jumping up and down. We all started clapping and screaming when they appeared. I got to give him the first hug....I didn't want to let go. He truely "glowed" with the spirit. He was very obedient and just shook Whitney's hand. We had a wonderful time talking all the way back to Pocatello. It is such a wonderful blessing to have a son fulfill a faithful, obedient mission and then come back shaped by our Heavenly Father's hand. We are so happy to have you home Griff and love you with all of our hearts!
