PRE-MISSION ROAD TRIP

Sam leaves for his mission one week from today. He is excited, nervous and not quite sure what to expect , which are emotions I would assume most missionaries experience prior to entering the mission field.

After our Schweitzer trip  Sam, Jared and their friend Tim headed east to Montana and SE Idaho, while the rest of the family headed west back home.  It was a road trip to say goodbye to college friends he wouldn't see for the next 2 years.

While in Idaho Sam took the opportunity to go to the Missionary Mall. One stop shopping for missionaries, it carries everything they need to get them through their two years in the mission field: suits, ties, white shirts, etc.  The entire group of kids above went along to give fashion advice.

The boys had a lot of fun, spending two more days skiing in Montana and doing some last minute sibling bonding (or rivalry, as the case may be).
