Late Tuesday night, Elder Ray and I walked off the plane in Seattle. 
Our families were excited to see us after two years. Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Laurisa were there to see me. Others (including Brian and Karlene from work) wished they were there.
That next morning, I got to show off some of the fun things
I brought back from Guatemala. Laurisa got a typical outfit worn by the women in Guatemala.

Nicole & Jeff, Chris, Callie & Kobi and other family members and friends were able to travel to be there.

and hanging out in the Puyallup area. I had fun with my new blue toy (the 05 Honda Civic that I took out a loan for when I got back). I was sad to give it up for a 96 Nissan Sentra to be able to afford school in January 08.
I got to spend some time with my family, including the new additions to the family since I left for the MTC (Kobi and Jeff).

During the summer, I also met Ashlee Noack (from Milton) and a little while later, we started dating.
