Nate's Mission Call

Here's a video of us opening the letter- Nate apologizes for stuttering during the whole thing.
For those of you who realize that the place we opened it is too pretty to be in Rexburg, you're right. We actually had to go up an hour to Harriman State Park to open it because Matt is at a violin camp up there. Enjoy.

Tallies for the mission guesses

Just for fun, we tallied up the guesses to see what was most guessed-

Surprisingly, Canada was the most guessed, with 4 votes.
Next up were Mexico and Ecuador, which got 3 votes each.
Africa, Chile, Italy, Australia, Florida spanish speaking, and Tennessee both got two votes each.
But none of those guesses were actually right...

Hiking R Mountain




On July 3rd we hiked up R Mountain. Not a huge hike, but we started small. We only had to kill one Rattle Snake! Frodo also hiked with us and did a good job keeping up. This is Nate on top of the world. Oh, you can also see Rexburg in the background on one of the pictures.

We've recently asked people where he's going, and here is what everyone is guessing.
