Elder T-Bob’s Welcome Home

Byjs

This post is a wee bit late.

Uh… exactly one year late.

Elder T-Bob came home from Russia on January 23, 2014, at 10 pm, and these are the pictures of that memorable and overflowing joyous moment.

Five hours before T-Bob was to arrive at the airport only fifteen minutes away, we got word that he had landed in New York City but that he had missed his connecting flight out West.

Either we could wait until the next morning to welcome him home,

OR we could drive three hours to the airport he was flying to.

NO brainer!

We hopped in the big family suburban and headed down south to welcome T-Bob home.

Now feel the joy in these pictures.

Joy that is real and oh so sweet.

Even though we got home at 3:00 am, we were just glad that Elder Browning, oops, I mean… Tanner was home with us.

As the sign says, WELCOME HOME ELDER BROWNING!

This past Mother’s Day was a unique day for me. I received TWO Skype calls from TWO of my missionary sons. Oh yeah! Double the Joy! It was B Trout’s last Mother’s Day call from Plymouth, Minnesota, and T-Bob’s first Mother’s Day call from Nizhny, Russia. How my heart did little butterfly dances when I…

I can now put these pictures up because the passing of time has made it a little easier. The month of February was a procession of parties, bashes, and T-Bob getting a lot of attention.  He spoke in our church on Feb 12, 2012 and did a great job.  He even memorized “The First Vision”…
