Waiting at the airport...not patiently:)
Brandon did not come up the escalators because of departing the plane
at the T gates. After he went to baggage, Brandon wandered over and
found us waiting, and came up to us from behind.
Oh Happy Day!
Some serious walking throughout his mission...
Brandon is Home - Ye Ha!!!
Brandon's last mission email sent July 3, 2017 entitled "the name tag is written in my heart":
Well, this week was a pretty good week! Sadly...it was my last full week that I have being a fulltime missionary, not a missionary though... that name tag is written in my heart. I have loved my mission so much! The people, the country, some parts of the culture haha, but also I have grown to love my Savior Jesus Christ.
When I came out to the mission, I didn't make a promise to follow him for 2 years, but throughout all of eternity. I am looking forward to seeing how much I have grown when I get back and although it will be hard, it will be better because of the rock I am built upon.
I am looking forward to seeing you all if you can make it This Sunday in church for my homecoming talk!!! I will explain so much more! I don't have a ton of time right now, but I am so, so happy I came out here. I wouldn't take this back for anything. I will be going back to El Salvador tomorrow and Thursday I will be with my AMAZING family :)
Thank you so much to ANYONE who ever prayed for me or sent me an email or talked to my mom about me or anything! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I will be forever grateful!
See you all soon! - Elder Austin
