Chad got back from his mission on April 3rd around 7 or 8 PM. It was awesome. We made signs and waited at the gate for him. A few family friends and neighbors were there, along with a group of his friends. He was one of the last ones through the gate. The reunion was fun! Right after the airport we went to the stake center so Chad could get released, and then we went straight to Chipotle for dinner.
We completed Matthew's temple work on April 22, 2014, which was my parent's 26th wedding anniversary. Usually the church holds onto names for a year after death, but we got his released a little early so we could complete his work on a special day. We did it as a family in the Gilbert Temple, and it was a very cool. My parents, me, and Chad were there. Dad did his initiatory work, and Chad did his endowments. It was a great experience none of us will forget. Later that day Hannah and our cousin Haylee did baptisms in the temple.
