For those of you visiting for the first time:

ATTENTION: Elder Michael Piercy will complete his mission and will return home on August 6, 2010 (revised arrival information is in the column to the right) Michael is scheduled to give his homecoming report in the Salt River Ward on August 8. The Salt River ward meets at 1:30 PM in the Cooley Park (west) chapel at 3345 E. McLellan Rd. Mesa, AZ 85213. Elder Piercy has been serving a two year mission in Armenia as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon).

Next week I will post photos of his homecoming and a recording of his homecoming report at church. That will be my final entry on "Michael's Mission Blog". He will start a new chapter in his life which you will have to follow on Face Book. Thanks to all who were interested enough to follow this Blog, I've enjoyed doing it and Elder Piercy deserves a lot of recognition for faithfully reporting each and every week with very few exceptions. Feel free to comment this week and welcome Michael home.

Michael was scheduled to arrive at 6:43 Friday August 6, His plane was right on time but we arrived a few minutes early. Chase Halcomb (Michael's first companion) and his wife showed up to share in the celebration.

Heather was the first to greet Michael, it was a sentimental moment. Both Michael and Heather had to wipe their eyes.

Michael was met by family. Chase Halcomb and his wife Madison and Paul Diamond (Michael's best friend) joined us to welcome him home.

Michael grew one inch while in the mission field (6'4") He lost 45lbs, he'll have to try and find them.











Friday evening we visited and Michael sat with a glazed look, He did meet his nephew, Liam.









Saturday we had a nice family dinner, Michael offered the blessing in Armenian. We had BBQ steak and fresh strawberry pie.

Sunday, Michael gave his report in sacrament meeting. Still trying to figure out how to put the audio recording on here. Any suggestions?
