jake is in his postion at church and he is greaitng everyone as they walk into church, out comes bubba daughters and they are talking to him like usal. then they point out the fact their best friend is finally back, jake makes a joke of i thought i was your best friend but then he asks whos your nest friend, they respond she is and they point. from across the parking lot jake sees hayley get out of her car. she doesn't see him at first but then she does and she stops. the whole parking lot seems to be a standstill. hayley then procceds to walk forward towards them, the girls great hayley and then she gets close to jake and the door and not knowing what else to say or maybe the only thing he could muster to actually say "good morning" and she replies "good moring jake" the little girls quickly wanna show hayley to their mom but they thank jake for their nicknames and once they do hayley asks about them and then the girls realize that jake and hayley need nicknames so they deem jake moses and hayley as grace. they tell jake they'll be back and after they walk in, jake looks back thru the doors to look at hayley and at the same time as she talks to people she hasn't talked to in years she pauses to look back thru the doors to look at jake at the same time he looks as her. and then jake looks back to open the door for others.

hayley rejoins jake at the front door. two of the faces of Wyoming and pheraps the 2 abundant life young leaders that went down a certain road but are back on the right one.with them at the doors of the building its almost like a symbol of the two gatekeepers opening the door for others. since hayley always took care of the animals and jake took care of the people. and then comes dale. he needs to take a picuture of his two unofficial kids being back with him on such a wonderful day. and then asks how hayley family and she goes you can ask them yourslefs their right there and then the camera pans over at her mom and her brother walking up and jake is bout to go have a heart attack. but he still greets them both and shakes hunters hand. her mom asks if they have met before but jake says unlikely. dale takes the oppounity to make jake look kinda good by listing some of his key traits and aclopshmiets and then he looks at hayley and he says " just a good man who earned a second chance in our eyes" whos eyes does he mean? but her mom comments "writer" and then glances at her daughter and asks have you seen any of this writings. ( clearly hinting at the fact that she knew about the letters) hunter looks like he knows jake as well and points out he's sorry for what happened with his mom and he and his parneter knew right off the bat jake was innconnet. how does hunter know about that? and whose his parneter? hayley mom asks if jake will mind to sit with them, jake delcines saying he should stay at the door and the 3 of them can have church as a family in their first day back but hayley isn't happy with that as she refuses that and tells jake like he said we should have church together as a family and he's part of her family
