February 14, 2011 Happy Valentines Day

Hello Family, And Happy Valentines Day!!!! I love you Guys so much,

The other day I did get the package that you had sent me. Thank you so much for it!!! (The macadamia nut cookies were awesome) But the package was sitting at my door step when I got home the other night. It was a nice treat to have, and now it is pretty much gone, all but one chocolate chip cookie. I really don't know how the best way to send me packages, either send them to the mission office (It'll probably take a week or two to get the package) or just send it to my door step if it is a low cost item; just because it could get stolen.

I have been writing Grandpa and Grandma every week, I am sure that he is very excited when he recieves these emails. I am very happy to recieve emails from him!!! Who would of thought that I would be writing emails to my grandparents (I thought I would be writing regular letters to them). Also I have been writing Faye letters, pretty much every week.

So you pretty much still have the youngwomen calling of teaching how to decorate pastrys (Ha Ha Ha).
But that is cool that you are still able to interact with them.

But when is Natalie going on this dance? I get so mixed up with dates.

So since I have left the house has it been easier to keep clean, or is it about the same?

But it is kind of fend for yourself when it comes to eating because you usually only have like an hour. So I have come to the liking of Bush's baked beans. Speaking of cooking last night we had an awesome dinner made for us. She made REAL lemonade, from fresh squeezed lemons; that was so good. And then she made some battered talapia and fried it, and then put some of that Franks hot sauce on it makes it quite delicious. And then she made grits oh man was that good to with about a cup of butter in it was good, and then either put sugar or salt on it. But for pretty much every breakfast I have oatmeal, either brown sugar or peaches and cream. And Elder Bradshaw likes to have cold cereal.

And with teaching it is becoming a little bit easier to open my mouth. And be able to say something. In the next couple of weeks we are going to have a few baptisms. Oh and for pictures it is going to take a little while because I am in the hood and it does not have a walmart to be able to make a cd, so yeah it might not be until I get moved out of this area. Sorry about that, I wish that I could get you some photos.

But I love you so much, and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Love Elder Wood
