On tuesday we left an hour and half early from work so we could get up to the Salt Lake Airport to see one of Hunter's favorite mission companions, Elder Huntsman, come home from Detroit :) We Got to the airport at about 4:15 when his plane was suppose to land. But we were in the wrong terminal so we saw a ton of other missionaries greet their families. After calling his dad we found them and talked for a long time and then his parents invited us to go to their house up in Layton, then to their stake center to see him get released and then out to dinner. It was such an amazing experience being there and hearing all the different stories of their mission while they were companions. They went through a lot together since Elder Huntsman was hit by a car while Hunter was his companion. So before he was release the Stake president asked Hunter to tell us what exactly happened. So Hunter told the story and it was spiritual moment for everyone in the room. Knowing that God watches over his missionaries and that He is the reason why the accident wasn't worse and that he only walked away with a few scrapes and bruises.
Right before he was released the first thing he did was get on his dirt bike.. of course. :) Now Hunter will probably bring it up casually to beg me to let him get one.. maybe one day!
After he was released we went to Texas Roadhouse... It was soo good!! It was an entertaining dinner when the waiter brought me a refill for my drink and I thought there was a piece of lettuce in it so I looked at the cup and in bright green permanent marker it said "poop" on the side. Everyone on the table was laughing and when the waiter came back he asked if there was something wrong with my drink cause he noticed we were all looking at it weird. So we showed him and he laughed and apologized and said that was embarrassing.
It was such a fun night meeting new people and seeing two friends reunite and tell stories :) It was worth the really long day!
Welcome Home!!
