David & Gwen Schwieder Family: He's HOME!

He's HOME!

Elder Todd Schwieder came home on February 24.

With David's guidance I made the sign. It says: welcome, welcome to Idaho Falls, Elder Todd Schwieder. I only found out later that writing names in red is "bad luck".
Todd is not used to the cold winters of Idaho. It was quite amusing.

Todd came home with Elder Clark from St. Anthony. He was suppose to come home at 5:30 PM. He came in 25 minutes early and so everyone except Brett and Grandma and Grandpa Schwieder missed him getting off the plane. Oops!! We are so glad he is home!

David and I have been happily married for 39 years. We have the 6 best kids in the world who have turned out to be quite exceptional adults despite having us for parents. And to make it even better, these 6 exceptional kids have married 6 exceptional spouses. Thus it stands to reason that our grandchildren are also exceptional. (I am really not prejudice, this is all true) David and I love life, each other, and the Lord. We are currently serving a mission in Taichung Taiwan and loving it. We miss our 21 grandkids but trust their parents to do a fine job rearing them without us there to help.

We are so grateful to all those wonderful people who have been important in our lives and had such positive influence on us and our children. Thank you.
