Elder Dratin S.'s Homecoming!!!

Elder Dratin S came home March 31,2010 from serving in the New Jersery Mission. All the cousins have been so excited that they have been counting down the days since the first of March. We are so proud of Dratin for taking 2 years out of his life to help serve the Lord and bring others eternal happiness. He has been such a great example for all of us including the adults. We love you Dratin!!!
Missionary
Someone who leaves their
family for a short time
so that others may be with
their family for eternity.


Here is all the kids patiently waiting for his plane to arrive. His plane out of Salt Lake got delayed for about a half hour due to some snow storms so they were getting a little antsy...

This is the sign they made for Dratin. They stood right in front of the doors so they could make sure he saw them...

Bitter sweet moment!!!
Todd (Dratin's Dad) and Dratin after 2 years. I love this picture. It is exactly what Todd needed...

Dratin got attacked from all the cousins. He couldn't hug them all fast enough. It was so cute and such a memorable night...

We all went to Gerties for pizza afterward and got to hear stories of Dratin's mission. What a wonderful night! We are so glad he returned home in safety and that he got to have an experience of a lifetime!!!
