"THE TALK" AKA HOMECOMING

Elder Bates, now known as Stetson again, did a wonderful job on his "talk" Sunday. We appreciate all the love and support from so many family and friends; especially those who traveled so far.

The night before, (Saturday), we had a special Family Fireside where he shared many experiences, his testimony and answered questions. We then had the family each give a piece of advice to him and share testimonies too. It was so great!

He started working at Mylar Disability Law offices the Monday he was back and is planning on going to Dixie!

Its good to have him home!

WE'RE NOT EMPTY NESTERS ANY MORE!

Elder Bates arrived yesterday at 4:04 PM! We greeted him LOUDLY at the airport and made him blush. He was honorably released by President Mitchell and we then came home to a home cooked meal.

Then he went and played Basketball until midnight up at the church and saw many friends and neighbors. He definately looked a little shell shocked and feeling a bit out of place today.

He is planning on going to school at Dixie and coninue his education in the Health Sciences and feels like Physical Therapy is the direction he wants to go!

We are so excited to have him home!
