"It’s not unusual for parents and siblings and aunts and uncles, and grandparents to come and see a missionary off or to welcome them back," said Spencer Fluhman, director of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at Brigham Young University. "It’s normal to come down the escalator from a secure area in the Salt Lake International airport, depending on the time of day and see hundreds of family members waiting to see their returning missionary son or daughter."
