Dallin's Welcome Home

On Feb. 23 Dan, Alisha and I climbed back into the car and headed to Orem again.  However, this time we didn't stop in SL at the VA.  We went right on past it to our favorite hotel near Kristi and Haini's.  This trip was in honor of Dallin Steele's welcome home.  The trip down was a bit edgy because the roads were not real good and the weather was even worse.  But, we made it and were glad when we finally got there.  Gracie and her roommate met us for dinner at Cafe Rio.  Thank goodness someone took pictures.  I took my camera but left it in my purse the entire time.  Oh well!

Sunday morning we all met up at their ward building and were treated with a great Sacrment Meeting.  Dallin's talk was uplifting and very inspiring.  He talked about conversion; a most appropriate topic for a returning missionary, but he also tied it to before mission and after mission experiences and the Spirit was very strong throughout his talk.  It was a blessing in our lives to have been there. 

Afterwards the fun started.  Kelly's family was there as well as Margie and Terry.  It was good to see Sam and Kellie, Afton and friend (wish I could spell his name).  We ate and visited and ate some more and then finally took off for home.   The roads were clear and the day was beautiful.  Ya gotta love that.
