Ben Elder arrives in Seattle Aug 14, 2009

Hi Everyone,

Just an update about another one of our grandsons coming home from his mission. Ben served faithfully in the Uruguay mission and used his mission time to the fullest. His
mission President sent us a letter telling about Ben's callings while he served his mission and he gave his all to whatever he was called to do.

Here are some pictures of our greeting him when he arrived in the SeaTac airport.
