Kalvin is Back!!!!!

Kalvin came home from his mission in Barcelona, Spain on November 18th! I have to say that I am so proud of him. He has always been such a great person and an example to me. If possible he has improved since going on a mission. I have witnessed (through letters) how much he has come to love everyone and really be a charitable and Christ-like person. Our family is better off because of his example of sacrifice and service.
About Kalvin: He has also changed in stature. He has grown and inch and if possible lost 16 lbs. But he looks great. His voice sounds different but not in the way that you might think. He doesn't have a spanish accent. This he says is due to the fact that he always has an American companion. He had no problem with telling us that he feels weird to be back. LOL The thing he says he misses the most right now is the Spanish Language. He wishes we could all speak it I think if we could that is the only way he would talk. He had trouble learning it at first but last night he was begging his nephews to give him any word and he would tell them what it was in Spanish. However, he has not lost his sense of humor which unfortunately for me means that he and Jared lost no time getting back to making fun of me. He wasn't to enthused about coming home but we are all glad to have him back! And he has missed two years of holidays but luckily he is back in time for all of them this time. :)
As you can see there was quite a crowd there to greet him at the airport. These are the only images that I got on camera before the batteries died. (dang!) Oh well.
