On Monday I picked up my cousin, Todd Hendrickson, from the SLC Airport. He came into town because today, he went into the MTC (Missionary Training Center) in Provo to prepare for his mission to the North Santiago, Chile mission. He was a funny, nervous missionary but I tried to keep him somewhat entertained, fed, and just distracted enough from getting too nervous. I took some pictures to show his Mom and Dad that I took care of him and sent him off happy and safely!
Todd had never been to Utah before so naturally we had to take him to Temple Square! He was surprised by how big the Salt Lake Temple was...
Todd is from Texas where they only have "epic hills" so we had to take him up the canyon close by our house for a little mountain hiking... I think he really enjoyed that.
Todd was being cute with Claire, holding hands and twirling her, and going ahead when she wanted to go faster than Zach could...
I love this picture!! This was Zachary's birthday too... he turned a big boy three!
This was Todd waiting outside Tucano's for Nicole and TJ to join us, he was getting very nervous
We took Todd to Tucano's for his last supper, they feed the missionsaries for free before they go into the MTC, and now I know why, they bring family with them, and they are so nervous, they don't eat very much ;) but I think he enjoyed it anyway!
We took some pics before he kicking him to the curb ;) this is the Provo Temple.
One arm shot... with Todd and the "Big Tall Girl!" (he gave me that nickname when he was about 2, and it has stuck ever since... I told him I should be the Short Small Girl now that he's grown a little, but he says I'll always be the Big Tall Girl!
Here he is finally at the MTC... I think most of his nerves went away when he saw all the other Missionaries and knew he wasn't the only one, and saw where he was going, etc. and just got more excited.
The MTC just changed their drop off policy, no more family orientation, you just drop the Missionary at the curb and wave goodbye... part of the reason I dropped him off, and not Steve and Darla, I'm sure it was easier for me to say goodbye at the curb... Here he is going off with the Elder that said he would help him through his first day... Bye, Todd! See you in a couple years!

Well Ben can't picket with his anti Obama policies there. Everyone knows that. Of course they kicked him out.
