All I want for Christmas is Dustin Home



Parker had never met his uncle "Dustin" and knew him only as "Elder" Pollastro. Even then we are not so sure he "knew" Uncle Elder Dustin Pollastro. Then the day arrived when Parker met this "person" that he had only seen in pictures. Parker's first encounter was true to Parker form as Dustin swallowed him up and Parker grabbed an ear. At that moment we could have sworn that all Parker wanted for Christmas was his now "Uncle Dustin" home.

Dustin's return completes the missionary circle as all of Melissa's and my siblings have now served missions. Here is the world tour that these missionaries have traversed:

Jason (Devin's brother) - Sau Paulo, Brazil
Scott (Devin's brother) - Catania, Italy
Nate (Devin's brother) - Neuquen, Argentina
Christian (Melissa's brother) - San Bernaino, CA
Ryan (Devin's brother) - Munich, Germany
Melissa - Sau Paulo, Brazil
Devin - Taichung, Taiwan
Carson (Melissa's brother) - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Brittany (Melissa's sister) - Stockholm, Sweden
Dustin (Melissa's brother) - Minneanapolis, Minnesota

Now all we want for Christmas is Parker to follow in these giant faithful footsteps. We just want that to happen in many Christmas' from now.
