We got our first letter from Alex yesterday. He had written it at 10:10 pm on June 25th, the day he entered the MTC. It was short but full of good news. We are going to Scan it so it can be on the page, but haven't had a chance to yet. Probably later today. Anyway, he said he saw us "frantically" waving to him on the bus. Of course we couldn't see him becasue the windows were very dark, but it is nice knowing he saw us. He also said it was intense there at the MTC. I am sure some of that has calmed down and he has picked up on the routine. He said he really liked his roommates and his district. He said one other guy had even skydived. So he is feeling like he is among friends. He also said he has seen LOTS of guys he knows, including one from elementary school and our neighbor Brandon Heffron. He didn't include any other names but Brandons... we will have to suggest he include names in the future.
Again, we are so thankful for his faithfulness and desire to serve a mission. Please keep him and all the wonderful missionaries (and their families) in your prayers.
