Hermana Ava Ballam's Airport Missionary Homecoming

Welcome home Hermana (Sister) Ballam!! Hermana Ava Ballam returns from a full-time mission in the Argentina Tucumán mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Sister Ballam's family and friends welcome her back in the Salt Lake City (SLC ) airport after one and a half years in Argentina (and a few weeks in the Mexico City CTM training center).

Missionary homecomings are always a very exciting and emotional experience for everyone involved and usually include tears of joy as families line up in airports to welcome back their missionaries after 1.5 - 2 years away from home. Sometimes these missionaries are known as "Mormon missionaries" or "LDS missionaries", but the more correct term for them is missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

These heartwarming moments as loved ones embrace these missionaries is always a very emotional reunion at the airport. This video captures the pure joy of a family reunion filled with heartfelt hugs and often tears of joy. The celebration is a true testament to the bonds that bring us all together.

Hermana Ballam will give her homecoming talk on December, 14, 2025 in Highland, Utah.
