As some know (those who know us more personally) Landon and Jace are best friends. Like inseparable. Before he left on his mish Landon and Lazer Jazer did it all together. (including golf course fishing, but thats another post another day). Jace left on his mission October of 2009, a few months after Landon and I got married. He was called to serve the Ologopo (spelling is probably WAY off) Philippines mission. Which he served with his whole heart. On October 19th he came home. And it was quite the joyous occasion if I do say so myself.
We made a banner that said something to the effects of "Happy Returnings Elder Stagg" in tagolog. Landon bought his favorite treats (vanilla oreos, and nutter butters). And had silly string waiting in the car so we could spray him when we got out of the airport. After the airport Jace had to be released... and the Stake Pres. (who also released Landon 6 years ago) wanted him to speak to the future Elders in missionary prep class. After he was released the first meal he wanted was In N Out (good choice Laze).. so we ate then went back to puppas house and Jace distributed gifts. Mama Stace got this AMAZING bamboo picture (hand made) of the Las Vegas Temple that says "Stagg Family-- Sealed for time and all Eternity", Puppa and Landon got these cool belts made out of a water buffalos bones, Ally got a cute handbag, Cashy got a shark tooth, and I got a satchel (that I was very happy about because I need a new church bag :)) Landon also got another present... It was a t-shirt Jace got made for them both.. but I promised puppa I wouldnt put a pic up of it.... it was a goood one.
We are all so happy to have Jace home safe and sound. And we are so proud of Jace for serving an amazing mission.
It's actually spelled Olongapo :) I know its a little hard to spell..
