Missionaries are awesome. Austin left on his mission just four days ago and he seems to be staying busy and learning so much. I haven't got a personal letter from him yet but I've read the letters he sent to his family and he is doing great. It's strange not having him around anymore but I know that he is where he is supposed to be and I couldn't be more excited for him. He will be in the MTC for nine weeks then he heads off to the Washington D.C. North mission. This kid is such an amazing person and I have learned so much from him. He has such a strong testimony and I look up to him so much. Thank you Elder Gleed for all the many things you have done for me and for being a wonderful example. I love you.
