We drove Brian to the MTC via Rexburg to say bye to Mike. He was not only happy to visit with Mike, but also to be in Rexburg. He says he can't wait to get back there. We picked up Mike at work and went out for lunch, dropped off some things at his house, went to the BYU-I bookstore, and the distribution center.
Amy came up to Scott's, and Elisha had made us a great meal to enjoy all together for the last time.... for awhile.
We went to the mall for some last minute purchases....approved music and more white shirts.
A sweet good-bye hug.
The farewell at the MTC was organized and quick. They direct you to a numbered curb space, and a volunteer older couple and a couple of Elders are there to assist in helping you take a couple final pictures and escort the new Elder away. The sister there said that one picture parents like to get is their missionary pulling their suitcases away.....clever, huh. You say, "oh yes, we'd like one of those" ... And away he goes.

Seeing these brings back some exciting memories of the MTC. Thanks for posting!
MTC pictures always make me a little teary eyed . . . . He is just going to be an amazing missionary. We can't wait for all his updates!
He just looks so cute! Thanks for taking so many pictures. Feels like we were shirt shopping too.
