I Got To Talk To My brother!!!

So today I got to talk to Alex on the phone! He left the MTC to fly to Australia so he got to call my parents and I from the airport. He sounds like he is doing great. He is with about 7 other Elders I think, four of which are going to Perth with him. He told me more about the MTC, he asked me about living in an apartment, my classes, and was sure to remind me to stay away from returned missionaries. He said it was a little weird to be out of the MTC and in the real world and that he was sad to say goodbye to some of the friends he made but he sounds like same old Alex, although maybe a bit more talkative than normal since we havn't talked in a few weeks. I really do miss him a lot. I didn't realize how different this year would be without him. But he's excited and I'm super excited for him.
