Hi family,
I am glad you got my pictures. I am sorry I missed you. I was probably finishing up my temple session or eating breakfast. It is definitely my favorite meal of the week. I love temple breakfasts. I always go to the temple between 6:45 and 7.
The cyst on my neck is still there. I have a doctor appointment today so I will let you know how things go. Also, unfortunately I have been sick since Tuesday. Yuck. I have been congested and have been coughing. It is hard to get better in the MTC. There is always so much to do. Yesterday I felt pretty good in the morning but at the end I was so tired and I was coughing a lot. P-Day should help though. It has already been awesome. I did initiatories then after we had 10 minutes or so before the cafeteria opened and so a lady from the laundry room said we could come and help so we folded clothes. It was very... exciting.
I am so glad you guys get to go camping. I can't wait to see the stars again. Everything in the MTC is so crammed together I never have time to check. Also I always look at the Utah Mountains and think how fun it would be to go on a hike. I am also glad that Megan gets to have a weekend break from the pain of studying. Megan I know that some days it feels like you are banging your head on a table and nothing makes sense. Be patient and keep doing awesome. It will come.
Dad, I am glad things are starting to pick up for you. You are a very hard worker and I appreciate the service you provide to others. That is so awesome that you got to go camping. I love Frisbee but unfortunately it is bawal or forbidden here at the MTC. I guess it is too competitive. Also they only teach us the language and the fundamentals here at the MTC. My teachers try to be very serious and stay focused on the gospel. Every now and then we get a story or I can get an answer if I ask but they don't give us lessons on the Filipino culture. It is just something we have to pick up in the field. Also the MTC isn't singing at conference. Sorry. I am excited except for the sitting in the auditorium seats for 4-6 hours on Friday and Saturday. They really aren't comfortable. But I get to listen to the prophet so I am excited.
This week for devotional we had our 3rd apostle come and speak to us. It was Elder Russell M. Nelson. It was really cool. He focused on the new Ensign for October. Have you guys read it yet? (The special Book of Mormon edition) It is so awesome. The talks inside are so good. Also they have some awesome pictures. I encourage you to read it and to cherish that edition. It is truly inspired of God. I am so glad that I got a copy for myself. Elder Nelson is a very funny man. I really enjoyed him speaking. It has grown my testimony to hear from 3 apostles and Elder Nelson specifically that the Book of Mormon is true. Also my branch president said that more apostles come around conference so there is a chance I may get the chance to hear 4 apostles which would be awesome. If not I would get to hear a member of the Seventy who might have spoken at general conference.
Mom, the picture of the temple would be nice. I could use some more black thread, some granola bars, and cough drops. If you would like to send me some more goodies I would be fine with that too. I love getting letters from you Mom and the letter from Marianne. I think I am starting to see who loves me the most. (hint, hint) I love to hear from you guys. Also do you have Elder Pearson's address? I would love to write him a letter. I love you all so much and I love hearing from you. I am glad you are doing well. I am excited for 3 weeks from now. I love learning and coming closer to Christ.
Love Elder Woolf
PS Paalam is a very formal way of saying goodbye that most people don't use. Most just say Ingat po. Or at least that is how I have interpreted it.
