Well when the missionaries sing Ako Anak Sa Dios at your homecoming talk you know it is over.
We have had wonderful two weeks connecting with family and friends and getting back into real life. Today we had our homecoming talks and it was great. Many wonderful people we know and love showed up and it was great to see and reconnect with all of them.
One of the highlights of the meeting today was many of our former missionaries attended and then sang Ako Anak Sa Dios. That seems to always be a highlight of a meeting when a group of faithful hard working missionaries sing a song from the bottom of their heats in the language of their mission. We grew to love all of these missionaries from the bottom of our heats.

We also attended a baptism this week of our grandson Nehemiah Hobbs. It was great to see him become the newest member of the church in our family. We are very proud of him.

This is also some photos after we removed our name tags. Most people do not or will not understand what an impact it has on you to remove your name tag as missionary for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
While serving a mission you feel thousands of prayers offered in behalf of the missionaries each day in the Temples and homes of the Saints. You feel their strength and love. The Lord also gives you special protections and comforts that missionaries feel every day.
This has been a wonderful journey that we have grown stronger from. We have also felt the Lords love and felt it manifest in our lives for the last 2 years. This then is another best 2 years. We pray that we will be worthy and healthy enough to have more of these best years in the future.
I love the Lord and I love His work. It was very special that we were called to serve amongst the humble people of the Philippines.
