It's not a dream. It's for real, as was so quietly murmured today about noon. Matt has returned home from Arcadia, California. He looks and sounds great. The baptism on Sunday that he and his companion participated in was a wonderful way to end his mission. We're excited to have him home and now it's full steam ahead, after a couple of days adjusting to heat, no 24-hour shadow, being able to take off your shoes, and listening to music other than Tab choir.
Check out the luggage that came home. The front part is Matt's name. Across the back of both is a sticker that give the "no other success" quote in Mandarin symbols.Dana took Matt off to Institute tonight. We'll see how that goes. And yes, to silence all the speculation, Matt has a bedroom with a bed, made up and ready to sleep in, a closet with hangers, and an empty chest-of-drawers to fill.
Matt is scheduled to speak in Sacrament Meeting on the 14th and all are invited. Our meeting begins at 11 pm. We're looking forward to it. He promises to speak longer than 4 minutes.

Make sure he bears his testimony in Chinese too!
