Thanks for the Alarm!
Well, i made it! It´s been a good slow first week, I get up every morning at 5:45. . . make up for the time difference and that's about when i used to go to bed! but i get up at that time to go run then i get ready, study and pray, go to a long day of class and eat, read and pray some more. It,s crazy only a week has passsed by, i feel like i have been gone forever. I can see how it flies by though, it is going faster and faster each day. I had a neat experience yesterday, I had the chance to give an elder a blessing in my district, it was a very straight forward and direct blessing, i promised him things that i myself couldn´t possibly promise. he wanted a blessing because he felt un worthy. it was strange that he trusted me so much to tell me how he was feeling, cause im not even his comp. but i talked with him for a bit, he didn,t go inot detail cause we aren´t supposed to but i got the idea of what he was trying to say. i didn;t have any answers he had done some bad things, but i gave him a blessing, and in the blessing i had the impression to promise him that he would be able to serve an honorable full time mission, not in those exact words but something like that. anyway (tawny if you are reading notice the lack of s) he had an interview with the President, elder Makey is staying, i think they had to call a higher authority and it was a pretty big deal but the lord knows that he has truly repented in his heart. I think you have to be so brave to confess something like that on your mission! he is a great kid. Mom, i hope you are doing alright with out me. i wrote up a letter for you guys today but i can,t send in i dont have your address. i am having a hard time trying to find the apostrophe key. lauren, i hope the move to lehi wasn´t too much of a shock for you, i bet you miss me so much! thanks again for the letter in my suit pocket pretty cute, let me know whats up with besser. Lisa Ace and Easton i hope you guys are all well and i expect some sort of communication from you three in the next couple years i feel like you guys have a tendency to forget about me. Dad send me some letters, i miss you and i love you, and i hope to hear from you soon. I love you all so much and i am praying for you.

Your Great Missionary Son
Your son is having a great experience here and is enjoying his companion and
district. He is well and happy. We took this picture just this morning in
our office. He hopes you will be able to send him some special hand lotion
from the dermatologist. Thanks for raising such a fine son.
Love,

Your Missionary Son Has Arrived Safely
Dear Parents,
We are happy to send the good news that your missionary has arrived safely at the Brazil MTC. What a great joy and privilege it is to greet each missionary as they come through the front door of the MTC for the first time.
They now have companions and are settled into their rooms. They are assigned to a district with capable and caring instructors for language and lesson study.
The branch presidents and their wives, who are usually a senior missionary couple or mature Brazilian couple, will soon give them a second greeting. These couples are rewarded in their callings through the love they always develop as they embrace and watch over the missionaries.
The MTC has a full time live-in physician to care for their health needs. He is assisted by his able wife.
We are also happy to report that the Cafeteria food is abundant and very good.
Your missionary will be able to e-mail home on Preparation Day after a morning at the Temple. This will be either Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on individual assignments.
Important information is attached for communicating with your missionary through letters and other mail while at the MTC. Your missionary's district is 25-A and the mail box number is 18.Too many packages are arriving after the missionary has left to the field, so we ask that you send a package only in the first 4 weeks and after that send any packages to his or her mission home.
We are also parents of children who have served as missionaries. And we have been missionaries who have left family. Please know that we are mindful of you and know of your love for your missionary.
Your very important young person is about to make an eternal difference in the lives of others. We hope you will be encouraged and comforted by this quote by President Lorenzo Snow: “There is no mortal man that is so much interested in the success of an elder [sister] when he is preaching the gospel as the Lord that sent him to preach to the people who are the Lord’s children.”
Please accept our love,
President and Sister Woodward
