So great to hear from you all! Sounds like things have been going well back at home! Fun stuff going on!
Thanks so much for the packages! I got them both this week! Thank you so much! They were awesome! I am excited to make s'mores! I will have to figure out how to do that! The microwave is too lame! But maybe we can try to use the gas-burner stove haha! And sorry, I haven't had a chance to get a picture in the shirt yet, we have been really busy the last few days! But I will try to take it and get it sent off next week! (If the computer will let me...) And all the good stuff! That was such an awesome package! So many good things to cook! And so many cool pictures and stuff! And thanks for the family history! I am excited to read more about it, but I have just had a little time to browse over it so far! And Sabrina, thanks for the Swiss Chocolate! That looks so good that I am almost afraid to eat it, but I can't wait to try some! And I can't wait to read your journal of your trip over there! Thanks so much for sending me that! And Eliza, thanks for the chocolate chip cookies! They are delicious! I had a few for breakfast today and they were awesome! Thanks for all the letters and all the love! It is so fun to hear from you guys and get that stuff!
And I am glad that you were able to make it to Elder Giolas' homecoming! He is a great guy! Thanks for the pictures! That was fun!
So, things here have been going well this week! On Wednesday I went to the mission home and picked up some new missionaries! My new companion is named Elder Troff, and he is from West Jordan. I also have been with Elder Martineau, from Kaysville. Elder Martineau leaves tomorrow, though. But he will go and be trained by Elder Wintolo. So he is my grandson. I am like the Patriarch of the house, I joke. But it has been really fun the last few days. I have been taking both of them around with me. It has been stressful, but a ton of fun! They are both really cool guys. And I am really excited to work with Elder Troff, too. He seems like he will be an awesome companion! The only bummer was that I was really sick Friday night, all day Saturday, and part of Sunday with fever, full body aches, and diarrhea. But we made it through it and I am healthy now! So I haven't yet had a chance to eat all my good food because I didn't have an appetite until this morning. But now I can go hard!
Saturday was fun because we had a big ward party for Indonesian Independence Day! We had an investigator come and feel really welcome and have a good time, and I think that was a big and a successful step in his progression. And it was a great chance for the new Elders to meet the members and feel welcome and see that the church is the same all over the world! I think they really liked it! I had a really good time and it made me feel at home! We learned a few Indonesian patriotic songs, which was fun, and sang them as a member played the guitar!
This week we have also had some lessons with some good investigators. Brother W is still coming along well and learning and progressing! We are just trying to get him to make a baptismal goal, but he doesn't want to commit to a date yet. But someday he will!
Well, I think that is mostly it for now! Thanks again for all your love and support, letters, packages, and prayers! You are awesome! I love you so much! Hope you all have a great week and I can't wait to hear from you again! The Church is true, the Book is Blue, and I will see you after I honorably finish the 2! Haha! Love you!
Love Elder Wood!
