Alex on his way to the Broadcast last Sunday

 Elder Berthelson with his companion, Elder Miller

 Elder Berthelson with his buddy Jake - from SVU.  Both happen to be in the MTC at the same time!

Alex sent us a great email today.  He talked of the broadcast last week and even though he was in the nose bleed section, he was uplifted from listening to the apostles in person and hearing what they had to say to him as a missionary.

Today is his 19th birthday! 
Here is what he wrote about celebrating it while in the MTC

I could not have had a better birthday than to do an endowment session here at the Provo Temple and complete one of the family members names from Uncle Max. (Last time we will go to the temple here in the mtc since they are closing it down for a couple months for cleaning).
