mom dad family!!

sounds like you had an exciting week! i am glad that you are getting horses!!!! i have been thinking about getting a horse too!!! now i dont need to get one haha!! we had a really good week this week!! we got permission from President to go to the high school play Guys and Dolls, it was a really good show. some of the kids had some talent. i guess that missionaries in the past have done service at the high school and the director (who is a teacher there) asked that we come and see the show so all 8 missionaries in medicine hat went!! then on saturday we went to the temple in cardston! our ward rented a big coach bus to take the members and we got permission to go. it was really good. the session we were in was the largest session since the calgary temple has opened. there was 105 of us in there!!! (not just our ward though) we had enough time to do a session have lunch and than inititories. it was really great to go to the temple again! we had an alright week with missionary work. we are in the process of cleaning out the area book. there were a lot of loose papers and tons of names of people we didnt know. so we copied all the names onto 1 paper and have been stopping by these people trying to figure out who they are. we stopped by rayleen (a name on the list we had no idea about) and she told us to come back next week!!! apparently she had an appointment with missionaries during the summer but they never showed up. we think that she has fallen through the cracks because of poor record keeping. but she seems intrested in what we have to teach and such. so hopefully she will be baptized!!!! we are still working hard and praying to find the elect. its been hard but i think good things are about to happen!! it was made known to me (by some other missionaries) that i only have 9 more P-Days left (which means emails too) 2 fast sundays, 2 months and 1 and a half transfers left. but who's counting!!! we have zone conference this week on thursday. and yesterday was family day so the libraries where closed!! hope tilly doesnt eat too many chickens!!!! have a great week! love elder woodard!!!

did you get rid of frank?!?!?! lds.org has maps and im looking at the house and i dont see him!!!

mom dad family,

nothing really exciting happened this week either. we went to bow island to the ward bon fire. it was kind of cool. it made me miss home though because we are out in the middle of no where and there was a fire and we heard the coyotes in the field. i don’t really like going to bow island. i feel that every time we go its ineffective. but it is our responsibility to go out there. we have a list from the ward mission leader of non members to stop by. and we got by most of them and they all said they weren’t interested. well its back to the drawing board. transfers are tomorrow and i am staying here in medicine hat. this will be 6 months in this area. im not really sure how i feel about that. i really like it here but i only have 2 transfers left and i don’t want to get transferred and have one six week area. it would be point less to do that but we gotta do what president says. tell everybody good luck with their performances!!! maybe i will get to see some of them!!! oh ya kallan comes home just a few days before me!!! have a great week!!

love elder Woodard
