mom dad and family

the weeks just keep going faster and faster. it is just crazy. we taught our investigator derek this week. he is coming along slowly but surely. when we were going to teach him we thought that it was going to be a bashing session. but it turned out really well. he had studied for 6 years with the Jehovah's witnesses. so he is really familiar with the bible and stuff. we ended up answering some questions and taught him a 2nd lesson. when we invited him to be baptized he said well we will have to play that one by ear. we aren't to sure on his commitment level but we is willing to learn and stuff. this week we have zone conference and have to drive 2 1/2 hours to lethbridge to go. and we did have a thanksgiving dinner but conference is on thursday so we wont get to go. if the missionaries go to grandmas that is the mission that all of my district from the mtc went to! don't worry mom I'm behaving!! time is just flying by. hope you enjoy the pictures!!

mom dad and family,

well transfers are today. nothing is happening in my companionship. and yes we celebrate veterans day. its called remembrance day I'M STILL HERE!

well nothing too exciting happened this week we picked up a new investigator named derek. I'm not sure what his commitment level is but he wants to meet with us. my companionship is doing fine. we are getting along great. i usually get along with all my companions except my last one. and it turns out that all his companions have not liked him either

ya i know it wasn't just me. i can get along with anyone. yes mother i am taking pictures!!!! hahaha the weather is warming up. it was -22 on sunday!!! which is 0 where you are from. we got about a foot of snow this/fri and a little bit on sat. but now its sunny and a warm -1:)

hmmm well we got a call last week from a member and she said that she has a friend that wants to be taught. so we went on friday to teach him. his name is derek. oh before i forget. my and elder leany are planning a cross country moped trip. and i only have 4 transfers left! i had a dream last night that i came home and nobody was there!!!!!

i know its six months!!! time is just whizzin by!!! so far I'm doing pretty good on staying focused.

mom, dad and family,

the aps are doing great. it was the zone leaders that were having issues. but they are doing fine now. they are fine. this week went by way too fast!! not a whole lot happened this week. our investigator shannon was sick. and we had appointments cancel! i can’t believe the week went as fast as it did. we went to bow island for church yesterday. it’s almost a branch! it was weird to be in a ward that small!! medicine hat is great. it’s a small city with farms all around. hmmm I'm not really sure what i want for Christmas. maybe some ties or something. i don’t really want a whole lot cause i will be coming home pretty soon. all my clothes and stuff are in really good shape still. if i think of anything with in the week i will let you know!! well i hope you have missionary experiences this week

love elder woodard!!

mom dad and family,

well this has been one heck of a week! i only spent 2 days (Friday and sunday) in my area. i spent monday tuesday and wednesday with one of the zone leaders cause they hated each other. and then i spent another 2 days with the other missionaries because one can't drive and the other's international license (he is from korea) expired and it snowed so we weren't going to make them walk. needless to say nothing effective got done this week (elder leany says hello!!) in our area. but we did have a mission conference on saturday with elder M Russell Ballard. i think you might know who he is. and Craig C Christianson and Elder Walker also spoke to us. it was really neat to be taught by an apostle of the Lord. he was only with us for about an hour he mostly was trying to inspire us to keep going and to light the fire again. it definitely inspired me to go and work harder! President Monson flew in on sunday for the dedication. it was Sister Monson's birthday so he stayed home for that! hope you have a great week.

love elder Woodard
