Mom and Dad!
It has been so good to hear from you and receive your packages! Sorry the cookies were so difficult to send, but they were definitely delicious and much appreciated! Things have been going great here at teh MTC and it is hard to believe that it has already been a week, while at the same time it is hard to believe that it has hardly been a week with how much I have already learned and how many cool experiences I have had!
I am glad to hear that things are going well at home and that you guys are doing well! I love to hear all of your stories and news, so keep sending them! Tell Eliza congratulations on making cheer squad! That is awesome!
I hope Arizona is fun, and that you guys are loving it!
I am loving things at the MTC still, and can't believe how strong the Spirit is here and how blessed I have been with learning the language. It truly is a miracle that I have already been able to teach two lessons in Indonesian without notes (well maybe I had a notecard with a few vocab words on it, but still!)
We are just about to head over to the Temple to do a session, and then will come back and I will have about 20-25 more minutes of email time, so if you can get back to me in the next couple of hours, I will be able to write back to you again today and tell you more. sorry this letter is so short right now, but I will write more to you in just a few hours!
I love you so much and miss you, but am still excited to be here and am enjoying what I am doing!
Oh, and yes, we are moving to Rain Tree in two weeks and that is about all I know about that.
We had an Apostle come and speak to us--Elder Nelson--which was really cool!
I will write more to you later, but for now I have to go!
Love you all and can't wait to hear more!
love,
Elder Jake Wood
