Monday morning, Elder Elkins called from the airport and it was so good to hear from him. He is so happy! He was there with all his friends, and lucky him, got to sit with them on the airplane! While we were talking to him, he was telling us about a lady at the airport that was sweet enough to buy all the missionaries a Jamba Juice! He loves being a missionary.
He told us about his hair cut experience in the MTC because he misses his sister (me) cutting his hair. The guy was so grumpy and cut it so short that when he went to class after, he teacher stood and saluted him when he walked in. We all laughed way hard. They called him General Elkins because of his haircut. My husband of course laughed because he remembers that man cutting missionaries hair in the MTC.
The last night in the MTC, all the buddies got together and had a giant sleepover in Austins room and I'm sure that's something he will never forget, especially because he's out in the mission field now, probably far away from his buddies.
He is so happy and having so much fun and we are so excited to hear from him and follow him on his next journey!
