1) to see if the pedometer really works
2) to be ready to talk to my brother if/when he called
What were the results?
1) the pedometer doesn't really work and it gets stalled, going for minutes at a time without recording any steps
2) I missed the call. Arghhhhhhh!!!
I can't believe I missed the call. Fortunately, he did leave me a nice voice mail message from the Chicago airport. I was able to play it for my kids to hear it. He called and talked to my mom twice (once in Salt Lake and then again in Chicago) and that is probably more important anyway.
He was supposed to be ready to leave the MTC at 3:30 this morning. He took off this afternoon from Chicago and around 10:00 p.m. tonight (Utah time) landed in Frankfurt. He is now probably close to boarding his final flight for Latvia (which will land around 4:00 a.m. Utah time). He'll spend a few days in the mission home there and then will be forwarded on to Lithuania for the next 22ish months. He sounded excited on the phone even though he said he was "an emotional wreck." My mom said he was just so excited when she talked to him, too.
We love him and we know he'll be a great missionary!
(even though it seems like he took quite a bit of time taking "selfies" at the MTC and probably should have gotten a hair cut while he was there).

I am so sorry you missed his call. Those are some long flights. I am glad he is there now. He loves you very very much.
