i hope every week that you are on so we can chat. it was pretty good. we taught a drunk man that has been trying to give it up. but wont do anything about it. we ran into some friends of yours the bullock's at the gas station in pincher!!!!  its a funny story on how we started talking to them. you have to put the license plate down to put gas in their car. so i said "that is a wierd place to be putting gas" and we didnt know they were members. we started talking and they were from the ward back home!  (they came from Canada first).

we saw a bear yesterday!!!!!!  we were in waterton. its only 50km from here.  the bear was right on the side of the road. i could have spit on him from the car.

 i have gained about 25 pounds now.  suprisingly the clothes still fit. if i gain anymore they won't.

 emily that sounds like lots of fun. so how are the dates? better date while you can only 10 more months and i will be home to scare all the boys away!!!!!!!:)

you arent allowed to date anyways. i will arrange a marriage for you hahaha. whats his name? tell him to leave you alone for another 10 months and i will take care of things!!!:) 

Okay. Find me a cute missionary and I will send him my picture from my senior photoshoot mom is giving me for my birthday. Hahahaha

ya no not happenin. you are not allowed to date any of these missionaries. remember they are still 19 year old boys!!!!

gotta go love you bye!!!

Some friends of ours live both here and in Canada.  They got to see Jordan yesterday.  Yes, just a bit jealous!

mom and family,

well this week was pretty good. our potential investigator told us that they are moving!!!! if we could teach them they would get baptized!!!! we did some service for a man in our ward bro westrop. he has about 700 acres of land. and about 150 head of cattle. needless to say he has lots more than our little farm!!! but we helped brand the calves. it was really fun to do that with them. we had dinner over there on sunday and they invited some less active members also. they are really good missionaries. so how are things with the neighboors? are they gettin baptized yet? our investigator from Jamaica works at tim hortons (its like dunkin donuts) and she hasn't had a day off yet!!! its a little discouraging because it just gives satan more time to work on her. tell emily that she isn't old enough to be a senior!!!! is tanner keeping the boys away from her?? he needs to open the door with rico on a leash or something!!!! love ya

Mom,

 I enjoy being out here and serving the Lord. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!! So, when are the Gregory's coming up here? Are they flying or driving? I was thinking I would like some cereal, and the doctrine and covenants DVDs. And we get the ensign for the apartment. We picked up a new investigator yesterday. She is from Jamaica. The Ludwigs in the ward are good friends with her and she just emailed them wanting to meet with us. She works alot so its going to be hard to teach her all the time. Transfers were last week. I'm still here in Pincher and my new companion's name is Elder Young from Sandy, Utah. He is a good kid. There are worse people to be serving with. We are getting a new mission president at the end of this month. It is going to be different not having President Archibald around. Well I cant think of anything else to say. Until next time.

Well,

As for missionary work. it has slowed down. We have been teaching less actives, recent converts and members. All our potential investigators have cancelled their lessons. We are sorta teaching this man who is less accountable but other than that we are teaching nobody. Hope things are good around the house.

love elder Woodard

I forgot to tell you, transfers are tomorrow and I am staying in pincher and getting Elder Young. I don't know much about him. He has only been out for like 6 months and Elder Sorenson is going to foothills in Calgary.

May 22

That sounds like fun. Well, most of our lessons have been cancelling, But we have some set up for this week. We went to Waterton National Park, which is glacier national park in the states. It was cold and rainy so we didn't really do much, but it was fun!! We saw some big horn sheep there and there were some big rams there!!! It was making me want to go hunting soooooo bad!!!! tell Emily happy birthday for me. I got her something from Waterton and will send it today. Hopefully she gets it soon!!! love you all

Dad,

things are pretty much the same here as well.we aren't having much success on finding investigators to teach. most of our appointments fall through.  that is good that the missionaries are going to you. that means that they like you and you are doing missionary work. we try use the members as much as we can and try to build their faith in missionary work. we are on exchanges today and i am with a missionary who has only been out for a few weeks. it should be fun. talk to you on sunday

love elder woodard
