we proceeded to the counter and got checked in. As we left the counter we looked over and there was Ann, Anton, and Papa K waving and throwing kisses at us. A few tears were shed but we quickly moved on. We left Sri Lanka at 3am, Sri Lankan time. We flew to Dubai where there was a three hour layover. Then it was on to Seattle for another three hour layover. This part of the flight was around fifteen hours. We were getting very tired. We watched several movies and tried to sleep to pass the time. We were ever so happy to be told that we were landing in Seattle. We found our gate and went to look for a nice juicy hamburger. We discovered a Wendy's, I think that was the best hamburger I have ever eaten. Finally the call came to board the plane to Boise. That was a short flight, just over an hour. We were so excited to see our children and grandchildren. Elder Meyers talked about using the bathroom and I said, no way, we are headed to our family. As we got closer to the meeting spot our steps became faster and all of a sudden here comes the grandchildren running at us. I guess they were all behind the sign that they made but as soon as they knew we were there they couldn't wait. It was so amazing to see, touch, hug and kiss all those that we loved.
It is wonderful to be home! Our bodies are here in Emmett, Idaho but our thoughts are still with the Sri Lankan Saints. We will be ever grateful for the experience of being the Lord's servants in Sri Lanka.
