After checking in to our hotel in downtown Mesa (this is the view of our old home town, looking south from our hotel room), we made contact with our Stake President, President Lewis and met with him at his home. We had the choice experience of reporting on our missionary experience in Virginia and receiving our official release from full-time missionary service. It was an emotional but very inspiring meeting with the priesthood leader who had set us apart for our missionary duties in January of 2009.
