Elder Owen IV is Home

We went to Idaho Falls on the afternoon of the 14th (Thursday) to pick Brendan up from his mission. He has spent the last 2 years in Brazil. It was a great reunion at the airport. All of his brothers and sisters were there along with his girlfriend, Shannon and her family. It is so great to have him back. He has not changed in his personality at all but has grown tremendously in his testimony. WELCOME HOME, BRENDAN!!!!

I cannot believe it's been two years! How exciting to have him home, your last one...(unless one of your girls decides to go:)

What a happy day! I can't wait to let my brother Tayler know-he will be so excited. Brenden looks a lot older than I remember him, but he looks great. Congratulations on having your family all together again.
