Elder Lyman returns after serving a faithful 2 year mission in France

Everyone was so excited to welcome Uncle Josh home from his mission!!!

The wait seemed long

but, he finally came!!!




There were hugs and smiles all around

It is so good to have our Elder Josh home.

Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

Well done, thou good and faithful son.

You have seen the field is white, You have shared the Gospel light,

You have earned the Savior's gentle praise, well done.

Elder Lyman is training Elder Shumway--aka 'Pud'

On Christmas Day we talked to Elder Josh on a G-Mail video chat. We not only got to talk to him, we got to see him. He looked so good and so happy!! He had gone to Paris a few days earlier to pick up his new companion who he was training and when he got to the Mission Home he found out this new companion was Elder Shumway (Pud) from Blanding. What a neat opportunity for the two of them to serve together the last 6 weeks of Josh's mission! (and yes, I said 6 weeks! Josh will conclude his mission and he will be released on Feb. 3rd)!!!!!!
