Returning Missionary

February 19, 2014

Occasionally we have a missionary who goes home for one reason or another.  It's a heartbreaking experience for us and for them.  A few weeks ago we had a missionary with some real health challenges and we were concerned enough that we made the decision to send him home on a temporary basis until the concern could be resolved.  We've had that happen before and the missionary wasn't able to return and we were sad.  Today we were elated when this last elder who went home was able to return with a clean bill of health.  Arrangements were made for him to meet up with the new missionaries who were just coming to Rome.  I think my heart skipped a beat when the door of the terminal opened and there he was right in front of all the new missionaries showing them where to go and what to do and being such a blessing to them.  Welcome home, elder!
