Week #2 - Waiting for a letter

Well, Alex will have been been in the MTC for exactly 1 week tomorrow and we haven't heard anything from him...probably because we're in Dayton OH with Cari and James and their family. Cari had a baby girl, Katelyn Faith, this morning and we're here helping out. Katelyn was 5 lbs 15oz and 19 inches long. Unfortunately, right after the C-section she had trouble breathing and was transferred to the NICU at Dayton Children's Hospital. Terry is spending the night with Katelyn, James is at the Base Hospital with Cari and I am at their home with Logan and Tyler. According to Papa (Terry) Katelyn is doing well and we hope both mom and baby will be home by the end of the week. In the meantime, we're sure that a letter from Alex awaits us in our mail at home. Terry will be returning home on Thursday and we will make sure that we post Alex's update as soon as we receive it!
Until then, thanks for supporting Alex. For your information, E-mails sent to him through www.dearelder.com, if sent before 1pm are delivered to him that very same day. You just need to send them to his MTC address which is listed on the first page of the BLOG - right hand side. It's a free service and from what I've heard - missionaries LOVE to receive mail! :-)
