Today (April 18th), Elder Hopper is coming home. We all piled into the Excursion and set off to the Birmingham Alabama airport. Katherine and Trevor joined us to go to the airport. We thought we would be a little late, but we parked and went to the airport. The Smith family also joined us to see him come in. It was an awesome reunion.
After the reception at the excavator, we waited for his bags to come in. Then we headed off to see President Shepherd. President Shepherd talked to him a bit, then released him as a missionary. Then they came upstairs and we sat down and talked a little more and President asked some of us, what words of wisdom we had for Ethan. Ethan shared his thoughts and testimony at the end and was very emotional. It was probably because he realized that he was no longer a missionary at that point. It was a great experience. From that point, we left President Shepherd's house and went to eat at El Cazador in Leeds. That was some good food!
