Wednesday, 7:18 PM, Mountain Standard Time, September 6, 2011.

It is official.We got the 'coming home' letter and travel itinerary from Elder Bellomy's Mission President. As of tomorrow, we have 35 days until we see our missionary again.

He will be routing through Phoenix and will be arriving just before 7:30 PM.

Also planned...

Elder Bellomy will officially be released that evening by our Stake President, President Morris.

On Sunday morning, September 11th, he will report his mission to the High Council* of the Stake. (This will be cool since Eldrew's Dad is a member of the High Council.)

Then, Eldrew will speak to our congregation during our Sunday morning services. This will be followed by a family and friend gathering at our house...sort of shake-his-hand-and-say-hello affair.

At this point however, we have barely spoken to Eldrew about his homecoming. He wants to stay focused...and has asked us not to really talk about it.

 "Hoorah!!!"


*Mormon speak: The High Council in the LDS Church is sort of like an advisory board composed of 12 High Priests drawn from the congregations of an LDS Stake...similar to a Dioceses in the Catholic Church. This group advises the Stake President and carries out assigned administrative responsibilities.
