The newest Missionary

This weekend we had the opportunity to go see this guy's mission farewell.

This is my cousin Michael, who is super fun and going to be an awesome missionary. 2 summers ago he lived with my family for the whole summer and we had tons of fun. After he moved back up north with his family, he came all the way down for my wedding, so of course we had to go up to Spokane, Washington for his farewell.

It was so beautiful there. We went on a hike and here is some of what it looks like there:

Afterward, we went to downtown Spokane and got to see some of the sights.

This goat has a button near it that when you push it, it activates a super strong vacuum that picks up all the trash in front of its mouth.

This is possibly the world's largest Radio Flyer.

Here is the awesome family we got to stay with all weekend.

We love the Frasers! They have an incredible house with an even more incredible view. Scott decided we need to move there. I told him that would be a possibility if he could find a job that would pay enough for both of us. I'm not too worried. When we were packing Michael told us the weather could be unpredictable. That was well-put. It went from hot and sunny, to sprinkling and lightning, to sunny and warm, to POURING.

Michael reports to the MTC to serve in the Baguio, Philippines Mission. That is pretty close to Sandy's mission, which is cool since they are friends, and will be able to talk about all of us in Tagalog when they get home.

We're so proud of both of them and excited for those lucky Filipinos!
