Justin is Home

Well, Justin has been home for about nine days now. It has been great! It was so wonderful to pick him up from the airport. We all sat at the airport waiting for his plan to arrive at 11:06 p.m. and waiting...the plane was delayed until 11:27 which seemed like an eternity. Finally, there he was coming down the escalator. I took pictures, gave him a big hug, and took pictures. The kids held up a big sign saying "welcome home elder Anderson", and gave him a big hug. Steve gave him a big hug and said, "welcome home son". It was kinda awkward at first, what do you say?...so we said "how was your mission"? and he said, "good". Then we realized we had to be more specific. We questioned him all the way home. When we got home, he opened his two suitcases full of memorabilia from Panama. Then we put the kids to bed and me and Justin stayed up until 3:00 talking. I was so tired, but I couldn't go to bed. My son was home! He's been going through the adjustment. It has been hard at times because he feels so stressed to get going with his life, but it has been great too. He has learned so many things. We have gospel discussions and he has tons to contribute. We got him going on signing up for school and he is working with Steve. He will adjust just fine, it just takes some time.
