Alex Left

Alex left on august 8 to the Provo MTC. I was so sad that I couldn’t be there but I got to be there for his farewell and I was able to spend time with him. I also listened to him get set apart. But he has been there for a week and my poor dad is so worried about him. He calls and asked me every day if I have heard from him or if I miss. It so cute to me that he is so conserned about him. But I know that he will be just fine. He makes friend easily, and can live in the MTC for two months. He has lots of snacks. I thought for sure that with Addie's help he would get everything he needed for the MTC but after going to breakfast with the Gunn family he realized that he forgot his pants! (I guess missionaries are still little kids at heart.) But I got to call and say good bye to him. He was so excited and I was too. Knowing that he gets to have that cool experience of being somewhere foreign for two years will be so great! but my dad had has already written him three time and sent him two packages ( one full of snacks and one package of his forgotten pants) so he should be well off

We did hear from him today in a Short letter today that was written on a 3x5 note card because he forgot to bring paper. The letter/ note said that he was doing good and that the food is better than lunch food he is grateful for all the snacks he brought. He also said that he is having a good time and that he wants quotes to go on his wall. But it can’t be that bad. I mean they feed you and give you a place to sleep for free! I’m glad he is having fun though!!
