After a long, challenging, 24-hour delay in departing from Vladivostok Airport due to severe weather, Elder Gee finally managed to make it out of Russia in time for his eldest sister’s birthday, Joanna. What a perfect gift…her baby brother’s safe return. The family was blissfully happy to see him (whiter than he has ever been–his Danish/English lineage finally surfaced after the long winters in Russia), and leaner than he has ever been as well. He missed his scheduled Sacrament service address which was supposed to take place at 9 a.m., just hours after his original arrival time–but his long delays caused its postponement until March 9th–which all turned out beautifully anyway. We love love love having him home. We are so grateful for his safe return!
