Welcome Home Elder Grover!!!

Elder J.J. Grover returned with honor on Thursday, February 3, 2011. After two days of traveling, his airplane landed in Salt Lake City at 3:50 pm. We were all there to greet him (except for Jordan, who had a dance performance at the same time), along with tons of other families waiting for missionaries. He didn't get the signs and balloons that some other missionaries got, but he did get to see our happy smiling faces, and I think that meant more to him than anything!Tears were shed as father and son reunitedAnd this is the happiest mom in this world!!! The nieces and nephews were SUPER excited to see this uncle again that they look up to so much. Thanks for your awesome example J.J! They had all grown so much that Elder Grover hardly recognized them! And, there were two new nieces for him to meet. What an exciting day!Elder Josh Lyman, a neighbor and friend of J.J. for a long time, flew in from France, just four minutes after Elder Grover. It was great to see him and his family again! And Elder Grover was right, he did need a coat! The cold, dry weather might be the hardest thing for him to get used to.

WE LOVE YOU JJ! WELCOME HOME!!!
