Coming home to open arms

Leslie Randall Jones with Markee Jones.

10 hrs · 

Markee Jones is coming home. Her back has not been healing as quickly as the doctor would like (she almost ended up in the ER last week) and President Olsen decided it was time for her to come home to get the help she needs. I am SO proud of my girl and the faithful, loving full time servant of the Lord she has been these last 9 months. She will be home Thursday evening and I am sure she will be looking forward to seeing all of those who love her on this side of the continent soon!

Leslie Randall Jones I felt the same way - like we were just biding our time till she could come home. I feel peace with this decision.

Cheryl Leighton Knowlton Sending love and prayers to you all. Bittersweet, isn't it? You are worried about your baby and happy to see them again but worried they are in pain - physical as well as spiritual and emotional. I've been there and would love to be the friend to you that you have been to me with my kiddos. Sending love. ❤️❤️❤️

Leslie Randall Jones One of her really good friends came home from her mission early also because of health issues and as soon as she was well enough her parents sent her back to visit for a time to be able to say a proper goodbye. Sounds like a great idea to me. ;)

Emily Hanks YAY!!! One of my favorite things it says in every call letter is "You've been called to serve as a full time servant of the Lord. It is ANTICIPATED that you will serve for a period of 18 months." Her full time wasn't 18 months, it was the 9. She still served a full time mission, don't forget! YAY!

Kristin Loggins I know you are looking forward to having her home! She is such a sweet young lady and we have been blessed just to know her! It was fun to get to know her and to watch her grow and then to gain a new friend in you has been fun too! She always has a place to stay in Arkansas!
