A Reception

It was Sunday, three days after Jason arrived at the Salt Lake airport, and Jason was scheduled to deliver his homecoming speech in church.  The house was adorned with the same signs as were at the airport except for the one featured below.   

This sign looks as it might have been professionally done.

Grandma and I stopped at the house long enough to drop something off.  Then we hightailed it to the church and got good seats toward the front of the chapel.

As we expected, Jason gave a wonderfully dignified report of his mission.  He also expounded on the role of the Savior in the lives of those who seek Him.

I was totally impressed, as he and another returned missionary, Ali Eaton, shared the pulpit.  

After the meeting, we made our way back to the house for a reception.  Family, friends and neighbors drifted in-and-out during the afternoon.  Below are just a few of them.
