Welcome Home Elder Alex Nelson
Elder Alex Nelson returned home with honor from Brazil on Thursday afternoon, January 31st. He is safely home with his family now. It was a wonderful reunion. We all went to greet him at the airport that day and about 2:45 his plane came in. He looked so different. Everyone said so. His suit coat sleeves looked a little short and so I swear he had grown a few inches. He towered over all of his brothers. What a joyous reunion!
That night, after he was released, we got together. As he swept the Brazil map to show us the places that he had been, we heard him tell stories of his mission. He told us a little of the Brazil people, did a door approach in Portugese, and sang I Am a Child of God in Protugese for the Kids. It was priceless. We all soaked in every minute of him! He just smiled the whole time! It is great to have hime home!
New Baby, Brooklyn Nelson (born on January 10th)
was there to greet her Uncle Alex.
