Dear Family:
Well we had a good week! Stayed busy, but no super exciting
stories though. So make sure you keep a copy of those pics I sent you, those
are from E. Feist's camera. By the way, that is his bike in the picture, it is
pretty sweet. I like mine better to ride and it is pretty good looking, but I
like how his is mostly white.
Monday was good, just your usual P-day.
Tuesday we picked up two new investigators Ty and Gary. They
are like 20 or 21. I think I told you we met them last E-mail, but this was our
first lesson with them. It went pretty well.
Wednesday we had In-and-Out with Jessie and Ruth and then a
Book of Mormon lesson. They are probably my favorite people we are working with
right now. They joke around a lot and keep it fun so I enjoy that, but they are
also progressing in the gospel rapidly.
Thursday we met with another pair of investigators we just
picked up. Robert and Laura. They are older. They seemed to accept the message
pretty well, but Robert is a pretty strong Baptist so we'll see what he thinks
about the restoration. We found some medium cookies on Thursday. We went to
teach this inactive member Sister Sombrano and she had some lemon cookies that
were pretty good.
Friday we had some awesome cookies. These were homemade
lemon cookies and we were at a less actives home again.
Saturday I had a meeting set up with this guy named Johnny. He
is a Mason. When we got there his wife said he was asleep but he wanted us to
come back. I was pretty excited to meet with him. He knew about Joseph Smith
being a mason and stuff and he seemed pretty interested in talking with us. He
asked us if we had anything for us to leave him to read so I left him a Book of
Mormon and ran back to the apartment real quick and got his some stuff on
Joseph Smith and then the restoration. Bro Boyd actually just read a book about
the similarities between Masons and Mormons and taught us some stuff. We are
having him come to the lesson too.
Sunday was pretty good. I finally don't have to teach the Gospel
Principles class anymore and Bro Boyd is doing it, I thought I was actually
going to listen at church for three hours and then they made me and Elder Feist
give talks. That is ok, it was only 10 minutes. We both talked on families. I
used "The Family a Proclamation to the World" I didn't realize how
awesome it was until now. I know it is hanging at the top of the stairs at the
house but I had never really paid attention to it, much less read it ha. But I
think that went pretty well. Sorry l have a short letter this week. There
hasn't been too much that is that interesting to write about. I did just think
of something that could be useful though. Instead of mailing me CD's maybe have
Sharee try emailing me the file. I don't know if that will be too big so it
might have to be the mp3, then I can just make the CD on this end so we could
try that out. Well that is all for now, hope you have a good week!
Love ya!
Elder Wood
