A Warm Welcome

After 24 hours of flights, layovers, roasted peanuts, going through security, etc. I learned a few things. The first thing is that my hips really don't like it when I sit for long periods of time. It was crazy painful flying 10 hours from London to Seattle. I learned that Tomato Chips aren't that great, and that people on airplanes can be some of the nicest people ever.

But probably the most important thing I learned, or, I guess I should say the most important thing I remembered, is how awesome my family is. The sight of them when I came off the airplane was one of the greatest things. I know I have only been gone for 6 months, but this was an experience I don't think I will forget.

Oh Suomi...

Finland. What a beautiful country. That is where I was called to serve a mission. After 6 months of mission work, I found out that I would need to come home for surgery on my hips. I don't know exactly when the surgery will be, what it will hold in store for me, or how long the recovery will be. I figured that during my time at home, I would "blog" my stay and time here until I return to the mission field.
