I finally got a letter from my cute and super busy little brother AKA Elder Woods! He is doing great and is loving the MTC. Too bad they are "kicking" him out and making him go to Idaho on Tuesday! No, really he sounds super excited to get settled into the mission and meet the people of Idaho. Here are some random tidbits/info al la Brad:
- "MTC life is awesome! Food is good. District is awesome and nothing is better than feeling the spirit 24/7." Note: I thought it was funny that the food is just rated good. Apparently he was spoiled by my mom's yummy home cooked meals and I am sure when he gets to Idaho he will reconsider the MTC food's ranking and upgrade it to awesome. Green jello with carrots anyone? Mmmm! Or just Barf!, poor missionaries get fed the weirdest things!
- He got another hair cut and apparently can go join the military now. To quote "My hair is WAY SHORT. Oh well. No one will see me for like a week right?"
- He is just loving his companion and will be sad to leave him on Tuesday. Ok not a true statement. His companion is a bugger and Brad will be glad to go to different continents this week. This being said they get along fine, the said companion will only have a few more days to drive his district and Brad batty. As Brad says he is being a "weener." Are missionaries aloud to say this? Yep my funny little brother can:)
- "I am learning so much about the Lord and growing so close. More close than I have ever been. It's way fun."

Awwww, funny funny boy
I know this was Jennifer's post, but, Janet . . . you'd be so proud of Vicki and me. We didn't cry! The key was we got a guest speaker - a darling recently returned missionary. Best idea ever. I highly recommend it. Then we really only had to report what Drew and Brad had to say. Brad sounded like an actual missionary and Drew was funny. Sorry you're having email {or lack thereof} issues. At least your boy gets to leave the MTC today. Drew is stuck there indefinitely {or so it seems.} Today is when he was originally scheduled to leave. Nine weeks there and counting!
what a cute kid! it's so weird not having him here!
