The triumphant return of Elder Daniel Powell

Two weeks ago we traveled up to Salt Lake for the homecoming 
of Steven's brother Danny.  For the last two years Danny has been 
known as Elder Powell and has been serving an LDS mission in Finland!
I have a lot to post from that weekend, but we'll start with the main event
 At the airport waiting.  His plane arrived at 10:05 pm 
Thursday, August 11



 Danny had quite a few friends show up, which was good because 
not all the family could make it.
 There he is!!! We almost didn't get up in time to see him come out :)

 Proud Papa and a very happy mom!

 Hadley was very excited; not as excited as Steven was to have his 
little brother home :)

Below: Haegen, who was only a year old when Danny left, was very shy at 
first.  Later at home he hugged him and said, "I love you Danny" It was cute!


 Some guy randomly gave Danny a Krispy Kreme donut,
very nice of him

 The bag Danny put all his heavy stuff in throughout his mission

 Finland Cufflinks

The awesome sign Steven made for Danny :)
Maverick, the golden retriever, was so excited to
see Danny he decided to "mark" Danny's luggage as his own.
Danny wasn't too thrilled.
His homecoming talk was very well done, and the homecoming was crazy 
with people, but it came together nicely.
It was fun to spend that first weekend home with him, and the whole
family is very glad he is back safe.
