Elder Buck Is Home!

Note from Sandra:

Elder Buck arrived home last night...Thursday, March 17th.  His flight was suppose to arrive at Sky Harbor at 7 pm.  Various family members and friends were all driving to the airport to be there when he came off the plane.  However, we had just exited the freeway into the airport area when Stu got a phone call on his cell from a number he did not recognize. 

Phone conversation:
Hello this is Stu.
Hello this is Elder Buck.
Where are you calling from? (thinking McCoy was using the expensive phones on the plane)
I'm in the airport..where is everyone?  (McCoy's flight was 45 minutes EARLY...a first for American Airlines I think!)
We are just pulling into the airport terminal and still need to find a garage to park!
I will go down to the luggage carousel and get my luggage...so I will meet you there.

Tanner and his family got to the luggage area first and met up with McCoy.
Stu, Sandra, Carly and several friends plus the Tryon's arrived a few minutes later and found the lonely Elder.
Carver, Amanda and kids were on the upper level so we had to find them and bring them down to McCoy.
The family went to a nearby In and Out Burger to grab a bite to eat then we took McCoy to meet with President Weathersby and be released as a full time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We got McCoy home...visited for a while...then got to bed about midnight.

So no big video of him coming out of the terminal area and the family to great him with signs and smiles. Stu did video all of us together when we finally found him. I'll post the video later.
