Final Transfer Day (6 January 2015).  A long travel day--Berlin to Amsterdam to Detroit to Salt Lake City--followed by a happy reunion with family and friends.  To interject a brief personal statement, I express my gratitude to Heavenly Father for Reese's joyous and faithful mission and for his safe return.  What an incredible blessing Reese's missionary service has been to him and to his family.  I am truly grateful.

Here is a photo of Reese and the other finishers at the Berlin Tegel Airport in the morning:

And here are a few photos from Salt Lake City when he arrived late that night just before 11:00 pm.  The first picture is of the group coming down the elevator at the airport and the rest are of Reese and family.

Finally, the Germany map (with the Berlin Mission outlined in red), which has been pinned to the kitchen wall is coming down:
