Welcome Home Elder

On Friday September 21, 2007 at approximately 9:45 PM Elder Stuart Rammell arrived home from successfully fulfilling and serving his mission in the Philippines. I can't tell you how good it is to have him home again. Two years is a really long time to have not seen my dear brother.

Stuart loved his mission and learned so much while he was there. He has some pretty amazing stories to tell. He is still the same great guy who I love and he doesn't even have that weird "just returned Elder" syndrome. My whole family is very much enjoying having him back around. We spent the whole weekend together having fun with Stuart again. We went to Harry Potter one afternoon and Stuart slept through half of it (bad idea I guess). Tons of our family came up to see Stuart as well. I think my mom said that 22 people stayed the night at her house on Saturday and that there were 52 people who came and had dinner on Sunday after Stuart reported his mission/talked in church. Stuart did do and excellent job speaking on Sunday - it is very apparent how much he has grown spiritually since he left. The pictures above are of Stuart at the airport and right before he got released the next day, Kate and I at my mom's on Sunday, and just a picture of June that I think is too cute not to post!!!
