dad,

well lethbridge is... different. there are no mountains here which is a bummer. but the city is a lot bigger than sparwood. there are about 80,000 people here. there is about 20 missionaries in the lethbridge zone. the temple is in cardston which is about 45 minutes away. my companion is elder biehn (bean) he is from bountiful utah and has been out for 21 months. so he is about to go home. we are getting along just find. we have pretty much the same personality. its fun serving with him. we cover 2 wards of about 150 each that were there on sunday. maybe a little bit more. its like 5 times bigger than sparwood. the city is pretty cool. its on the prairie. there are hardly any driveways. just back alleys. and there are lots of trees by the houses that give shade. its kinda like new york a little except not as humid. that was good of mom to invite them over to the house. you should invite them to take the discussions in the home as well. if they say no at least you gave them the opportunity to learn more. they still have their agency if they wanna learn more. remember that you are always a missionary. even if you aren't preaching. people are always watching.

hope everything works out

love

elder woodard
