Welcome Home, Elder Allen

Elder and Sister Cross, Nathan, Sister and Elder Walker at the airport in Singapore.  Sister Cross accompanied Nathan on his long flight home.

 Nathan and Sister Cross left Singapore at 8 am on Wednesday, November 20.  Their flight from Hong Kong to LA was late and caused them to missed their connecting flight to Salt Lake.  Nathan took a later flight but Sister Cross stayed in LA to catch her flight home.  She completely missed Thanksgiving and flew almost 20,000 miles to bring Nathan safely home to us.  We are grateful for her selfless service.  Nathan was traveling for over 24 hours but with the time change it was still Wednesday.

Waiting for Nathan at 6:30 pm on the busiest travel day of the year.  Even better than a pie party.

Talking with the mom of a Malaysia missionary he knows.

After we took this picture, Nathan and Bill went by ambulance to Huntsman Cancer Hospital.  He stayed overnight and had a CT done.  He got out in time for Thanksgiving Dinner. We'll get a biopsy this coming week.  Nathan was released by our Stake President, Greg Spencer, on Thanksgiving evening.

Friday we went to the temple.  This same group was in this same place just before his mission, too.
