Howzit! Elder Flexy!

Our darling Elder!
We dropped Alex off at the MTC this afternoon. We stopped for lunch on the way.
He was so excited!
I have done pretty good at not crying, two years is a long time! But, I only feel sad when I think about me. (So I won’t think about me!)  I asked Alex if he was sad at all. He said “No, I’ll be right back. I’m just going to be gone for a couple of minutes.” It’s true! Time flies! When I do think about him, I can’t help but feel excited. He is going to have many great experiences that will bless his life. I also feel so happy for the people in South Africa, who will meet and know him. He is such a wonderful young man. With a heart of gold.
I looked up common phrases in South Africa, and “Howzit” is one of them it means: – A common greeting which can mean ‘How are you?’. ‘How are things?’, ‘What’s up!’ and so on!
I will keep you all posted as to how he is doing and what he tells us in his letters home. I’ll call the posts: Howzit! Elder Flexy!
