Home for 5 Weeks

The last couple weeks at the MTC, Shane met with several doctors and had several tests done, and it was determined that he should come home for a time to address some health issues. So on December 16th (the day Shane was to fly to Anaheim), Shane came home and was released from his mission.

Coming home was his last choice. It was a difficult time. He was basically in limbo, without a job, without being in school, without being on a mission.

But there were some positive things that came out of it. Shane was able to be home for Christmas and go with us to Pittsburgh, PA to visit Ross, Anna, and Tereesah. While there, Shane spent two days serving with the missionaries. And Shane performed some baptisms in the Washington, D.C. temple. In Highland, Shane did some temple work for some of our ancestors.

After having sufficient time to get the medical issues addressed, Shane was set apart as a missionary again and flew to Anaheim on January 20th.
