MTC - Week 6 (almost)... Leaving for Argentina

We had a great (although short) chat with Alex yesterday for Mother's Day. It was wonderful to hear his voice and get to talk with him. He leaves the MTC today, and should be calling again from the airport. This morning he sent some last pictures from the MTC, so I'll include those here.

I'm really excited for him. He is ready to get to work, and his Spanish isn't too bad either. His accent is much better than when he was home, and he did a good job conveying what he wanted to say (with a few mis-conjugations, but we could understand what he meant).

He told us yesterday that his travel group is quite large. I think there are about 10 missionaries going to Buenos Aires, and then 5 will continue on to his mission in Comodoro. They are all prepared for the ~36 hours of travelling to the mission and then who knows how much longer to their first areas. I am anxious to find out where he will be serving. Hopefully I do not have to wait until next Monday!
