Elder Anderson's Homecoming and East Canyon!!!!

My brother Steven came home from the Quetzaltenango Guatemala mission on August 4 at 11:30 at night!! It was such a long day but we were so glad for him to be home!!! We were up till 3:30 in the morning! It was well worth it though!! Here are some pictures from the return!
