missionary letters: 7.5.15 part 2

As I said, so much fun hanging with melissa and some with Chaz. He's pretty funny and it was nice we got to spend more time with him and know him a little bit better. So here's some pictures of them.

And Melissa and keagan wrestling. He's so big now, no challenge. Haha

And Melissa and chaz had matching 4th of July shirts. Aren't they cute.. :)

4th of July was so cool! We got up early to go see the hot air balloon festival in. Provo. They were awesome! I could go on and on.. but I'm "trying" to be brief.

Then we walked to go see the parade. It was very cool! Lots of bands, floats, and even some big floating balloons that are character s, like curious george.

Okay, the coolest part...

The provo mission had their missionaries in the parade! So, first how awesome is that! And then everyone stood up, clapped and cheered for them. I got all misty eyed! It was so cool!! Then, I looked at Keagan and said, wait isn't Luis Hernandez serving in provo (he's from olympia 1 ward), so we started looking for him! And saw him!!! I screamed, "Luis!!" He saw us , got this huge smile and we were waving wildly at each other. Keagan was laughing at me 'cause I was emotional and saying. We saw Luis! Afterwards, I thought, I guess I should of said, Elder Hernandez. ..

The only sad thing was no handshake or pictures.

The other exciting part of our visit was seeing some of our missionaries. With our visit being so spur of the moment and the holiday weekend we didn't get to see as many, but the quality was awrsome! We got to see Jared Oliphant twice, Adam Chichoski, and Dallin Majors. And meeting Oliphant s mom and 2 of his sisters and Elder Hunter Pyne s family. (He comes home in August)

We actually went on a beautiful drive near Sundance and alpine (provo. Canyon) with Oliphant today and visited pyne s family with him. They had served together. It was so fun! I seriously love that Oliphant kid! I have like at least 50 more pictures. ..

This one just makes me laugh.. this is us true to life.. Keagan on his phone, Ray yawning and me trying to see something.. pretending I don't need glasses..
