    RachelleDrew got a reaction from Sunday21 in Gifts for a returning missionary.   
    My brother in law will be returning in a couple of days from his mission in Europe. I was trying to think of some nice things I could do for him for when he comes home. One of the things that I did was clean out his bedroom for him at his parent's house (they aren't the best cleaners, and they've kinda turned his bedroom into a storage closet over the past two years....) So his bedroom is now cleaned, organized and fresh bedding and stuff for him.
    I also made him a CD with his favorite bands on it. I looked up what singles they had released that he would have missed out on while he was gone, and burned them all onto a disk for him. That way he can kind of catch back up with the music scene.
    He's been a wonderful friend to me during my difficult situation, and has given me lots of great advice from a spiritual perspective. I want to help pay back the favor for him when he gets home.
    What are some things that friends and family did for you when you returned from your mission that you liked? That made you feel loved when you got home? His parents found someone who spoke fluent Russian to help make signs for us to hold at the airport for him.
    What are some other little things we could do? Not just for the day he gets home, but for his next few weeks trying to slide back into his old life. How can we help him out during the transition period?
