MTC

We went to Utah a couple of weeks ago to see my parents before they headed off on their mission to Japan. We stayed at my grandpa's place while we were there and got to see lots of family. It was a lot of fun to see my brother's new baby. They blessed him while we were there and had a nice gathering afterwards at his in-laws place. We also got to see some of my sisters and a couple of B's sisters also. It's always hard to find time to see everyone and get to spend as much time as we would like with everyone, but we're always glad for the time that we do get.




A, a couple of her cousins and I dropped my parents off at the MTC. They are allowed to use their car and leave the MTC at the end of each day, but we were borrowing their car, so we dropped them off the first day. We drove them to their apartment and got to help them carry their stuff inside. We then said goodbye to them and headed off.

That evening we picked them back up and took them to my brother's place where we all met for dinner and then went bowling at BYU. We had a great time.



It was fun watching A bowl. The first couple of times she rolled her ball, but because it was so heavy it rolled really slowly down the lane, but it usually made it to the end. Another time she set the ball down on the ground and then kicked it forward, thinking that might make it go faster, but I don't think it helped much. One time she kicked it and it wasn't going very fast so she ran after it to kick it again and slipped in the lane. It was fun seeing what she would do to try to get her ball to go. I played in the lane with the little kids who had the bumpers up, so I got a little help with my bowling and ended up with one of my better scores. :)

We are excited for my parents to be on their mission and hope that they have a wonderful experience!!
