Welcome Home Brock!

Hip, hip hooray! Brock came home today! It was so much fun to see him again. He came to us via American Airlines and landed at 1:11 pm. Thanks to customs and his suitcases being lost we anxiously waited until almost 2:00 pm before we saw him! What a wonderful reunion!

Of course a trip to LA would not be complete without a trip to Tito's Tacos. We celebrated Brock's homecoming by going for lunch. Everyone wanted to sit close to him. He rotated cars so everyone could talk to him. After lunch we went to Gordon & Maryann's house where Grandma Jex is staying. It was a treat to see Chris & Marilyn there as well. Grandma was very emotional when she saw hug. It was special!

We were able to hear Brock share his testimony with us before he left to be released from President Blickenstaff. He brought all of the nieces & nephews their very own missionary badges (the real McCoy!) and encouraged them to be missionaries. He brought the girls small pictures from El Salvador. McKay presented him with golf clubs -- the new past time of all of the boys. The nieces and nephews sang his favorite Primary song (thanks to Corrine for help) to him - "I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ". It is so much fun to have him back! I am so proud of him!
