Hi Family:
How are all of you doing today? It has been great in the MTC. It's gotten a little warmer lately, warm in the day, but it cools down at night. It feels nice with only short sleeved shirts. Having only short sleeves really isn't much of a problem. Only just last Sunday, we started wearing our suits everyday. Now our suits are at the dry cleaners. My companion will pick up his today and we will only wear them Sunday and Monday before we leave the MTC. It wasn't a lie. We just didn't go and pick them up from the cleaners. Also, I got my last shot. It was very fun. I love getting stuck with a needle and then paying 60 dollars. Anyway life is great. As for money needs. Make sure I have at least $150 in my account. I don't really know what the cost for my luggage will be. Just check my account on Monday at 6:30ish and make sure I have enough. Hopefully by then I will have checked on my bags.

I am glad you get to relax for fall break. I wish Megan the best of luck on her PSAT. I hope my calculator will work for her. Just make sure you take out all the batteries when you are done. It is a fantastic calculator:)

The ward service project sounds like it will be pretty good. I am so excited to go and serve the people of the Philippines. I learned I need to be creative in my service. Anyway, I heard that the work is progressing and that I will have plenty of people to teach.

Megan. I am so glad you had an awesome time at the Homecoming dance. I'm glad that you finally decided to write me. Keep up the good work. Go. Fight. Win.... Yeah.

Hi Mom. I got the pictures of Cole and Heidi. It's only been two months and they both look so much bigger and older. I am so glad I get to talk to you in a few days. I am so excited to go to the Philippines and meet President Stucki and his wife. The MTC is awesome but I can't wait to go. Today is my last P day in the MTC. I have to pack up in a little bit. Everything is coming up so fast. I am so excited. On Tuesday, Julie B. Beck, the Relief Society President spoke to us. It was pretty good.

The language is coming along. I have to keep myself focused. Now I feel like I am not sure where I need to study and learn. Once I get there I can work a lot more on the language. Speaking it all the time I can grow and learn. I still study hard but it is just random stuff or reviewing. The last days of the MTC are coming and going. Oh and one last thing. I got the package and I got the dear elder. I saw the call card stuff after I sent my email last time. I will just follow the steps. How hard could that be right? If I can I will call from LA and Salt Lake. LA for sure. Thanks for the package it was lovely. The cookies were awesome and the tie is so cool. Thanks for the food. I also got a package from Maureen. It was popcorn. Delicious amazing popcorn and some candy. I love my family. They are so awesome.

I love you all. I am excited to speak to you in the next few days. I am excited to go to the Philippines and teach real people in their language. I know I am in the right place the spirit is so strong in the MTC. I love you.

Love Elder Woolf
