Elder Wilson and his Mission President and his Wife

Elder Wilson got home on Feb 9th, had his surgery Feb 11th and was well enough to be headed back to Brazil on Feb 14th. But then there was the waiting!
Elder Wilson did get to see his best friend Elder Jolley come home from his mission on Feb 10th, the day after he got home. And we were at the airport to greet Elder Morwood and went to his homecoming in Beaver.
Elder Wilson went to work with his comp (his Mom) everyday, except for those rare occasions that Chanae or Brent were off work. He also was able to serve in the Temple and work in the Bishop's Store House.
We did help Elder Wilson celebrate his 18 month mark on March 17th. He burned 4 pairs of dress slacks (that his mom said he was NEVER wearing again.) and we went to lunch at the Made in Brazil Restaurant. It was very very yummy. The drinks were sooooooo good.
Elder Wilson got word that he would not be retuning to Brazil. Instead he would finish his mission in the Illinois Chicago North Mission. He boarded a plane out of here on April 6th and was very excited to get back to mission life.
Elder Wilson was way surprised to see
us there waiting for him at the SLC airport.
He thought we were still in Hawaii.

Here we are getting ready to board the flight for
St. George. As you can tell, Elder Wilson has lost some weight.
All that walking!

Home at Last!.....
well that's not what Elder Wilson was thinking.
He was instantly homesick for Brazil, and he was freezing. When we walked out
to board the plane from SLC to St. George he said
"Holy Cow....I can see my breath!"

Thank heavens Chanae was home. She was the Chairwoman of the
Welcome home party since the Mom was out of town.
And She did a Great Job!

Elder Wilson was in charge of watering
the newly planted lawn. I guess
there was some raking involved too.

Unfortunately Elder Wilson was forced to celebrate his 18 month mark here at home. But at least he got to celebrate with his 2 favorite companions.
Here we are eating at the Made in Brazil Restaurant.
Elder Wilson was Loving the Food and
conversing with the waitress in Portuguese.
