Hello Mom and Family,
That is all right that you didn't get that letter to me, but that is good that Brooke is doing good, just not with the sid-effects. I hope that everything will go to plan, and that the baby will be a healthy one. And the weather here for Monroe was a nice 93 deg. with a HIGH hummidity. But I sent my emails from a library just a few miles away from our apartment. And we can't send emails from members houses, that is what is says in our little white handbook. I got my new companion today, he is Elder Willard from North Carolina. It was a little hard letting Elder Pedersen go, but it was ment to be. And Elder Pedersen has been out for 10 1/2 months, so he has a fair amount of time still. He and a new elder who got here yesterday are whitewashing an area. So fun times for him, he was wiereded out about not knowing anything about the area or anything.
The girl (Nicole) that I was talking about last week is doing great, this past week and for a couple more she is going to be on a trip so we aren't going to be able to meet with her. But we are planning her baptism for June 22, she is so solid. And we are going to try and find some new people to teach, hopefully we can come across some people who want to learn more about the Gospel. And I am also still trying to come out of my shell and talk alot more in lessons, I have been having such a hard time with that. But I know that it will come with time.
That is crazy that there is still 13 ft. of snow Monte Cristo, I bet there is going to be alot of flooding this year. And I don't know if I believe that there is 87 ft. of snow over the Mirror Lake Highway. That is just alot of snow. Just hopefully you won't have to here about the drought that Utah is supposedly in. Ha Ha Ha Is our lawn still growing like it is in a rain forest?
I am doing good and just going about the work of the Lord, I just hope that I can keep my eye on how short a time it is. After this transfer I will have been out for 1/4 of my mission. I love you so much and I hope that you are doing good back home. And when is it that you are moving the office? And it is this week that Suzzane is graduating. That is so wiered to think one year ago I couldn't wait for school to be out, and now look at where I am at, I'm in Michigan. I love you and hope that you have a great week.

Hello Mother,
I am doing good I have finally got over my cold. This week has been a good one, I was able to go on exchanges for three days of it, because my companion went to a leadership training meeting. So most of the time I was in Riverviews area. And at night I went back to my area with one of the zone leaders, so we didn't get to work as much as we wanted to in our area. But Nicole Shield came to church, and that was pretty cool, and we are planning to have her baptism on June 22. The sad thing about it is that Elder Pedersen is probably going to be going next Tuesday. But I did get my bike back this last week, they put a new crank arm on it and it is back up and running, but I should have had them put a new pedal on it because this one lost its berring on it or something. But all is well with it. I hope that you will be able to ride your bike soon, I don't know how warm it is back in Utah. I love riding my bike around, just not in the snow. And I am still considered skinny by everyone, though I put on 20 lbs. And where is Elder Twedt from? I know who he is, I was just wondering if you knew them? Seems that you do know everyone. Ha Ha Ha Elder Twedt was also trained by Elder Bradshaw, which is coming home after this next transfer. Time does fly by when having fun. And I will have been out for 1/4 of my mission.
That is so cool that you were able to talk to Tanner about graduation, I need to write him back. I have been so horrible about that these past few weeks. But that is awesome that he is planning on going on a mission. The thing that I would tell him is that a mission is not an easy thing leaving your life back home and taking on a new one. But it is going to be worth it. And grandpa told me that they went to Suzzan's seminary graduation, man I am feeling a little bit like an old man. Ha Ha Ha
And I was wondering if you are doing the cake for Brittley Read's wedding?
I hope that you guys have a great week, and that you can get all that you want to get done, done. And by the way when is it that you are moving the chiro. office? I love you so much and hope that you have a great week.
Love Elder Tyler Wood

I am doing great, it is another gray day but it is going to be a good one. I still have a cold and snozz coming out of my nose, but it will just take some time before it is gone. We have several prospective people we have met. One of them is Nicole Shield, she has been living with the McKloskeys for a while now and is planning to marry one of their sons, and the mom has been talking with her about the church, and when we asked her if she wanted to be baptized she said yes. We have met with them a couple of times and we put her on date for baptism. And there are a couple others that we are working with.
I took my bike into a shop the other day to get the crank worked on because where the pedal screws in stripped out. And hopefully we can get it back pretty soon, because we want to start riding around downtown Monroe. So if you see a charge for fifty bucks or so that is why.
Elder Bradshaw is in Schaefer still, he is in a tri companionship because there is an Elder that is waiting to get out of the country. And Elder Bradshaw is probably going to stay in Schaefer until he goes home, he will have been there for either six or seven and a half months in there. And we have transfers coming up in two weeks, so we will see then. And I will probably be going to the meeting because we are thinking that Elder Pedersen is going. So we will see what happens. And that is awesome that Matt Silvester is home now, I remember when he left because it was the second summer that I was working at the city.
That is so cool that Kaleb is now two, it seems like it was just a little while ago when he was being born. Time flys. Speaking of time flying after next transfer I will have been out 1/4 of my mission. And that is cool that you guys were able to go for a walk down the track. How is the weather out there?
And with this dog, he is a fox terrier with a beagle mix, but he does like to bark, but he has barked so much that he sounds like an old man. It is pretty funny. I don't totally know how well it would do outside. And with the exercise part of things I will probably have to take it out for walks. And the Careys are hoping to come out to Utah to try and find work opportunitys, hopefully are Autoliv. They are not sure when they are coming out to Utah, but sometime soon, like in a month or two. He has a brother that lives in Brigham City, and they are probably going to stay there for a while. But this dog is a good family dog, he just an awesome dog. And for plans for the dog I don't know, but that I would take care of it.
I am doing good and this week I am going to be on exchanges for pretty much the whole week because my companion is going to leadership traning, and when they come back from that meeting I am going to be with one of the zone leaders until thursday. So this week is going to fly by for me.
I hope all is well back home. And where is Natalies portion? But have a great week and keep on doing awesome!!! I love you so much and I am so greatfull for all that you have done for me to bring me to this point in my life.

Hello Mom, and Family,
I am doing a little bit better this morning. One question first Is it all right if the Careys drop off the dog when they come out to Utah to try and see what is out there? And the phone call they have pretty much unlimited minutes and it was on the weekend, so not to worry. But that was awesome to be able to have all of the family together and talk. My dinner was pretty dang good we had ribeys, sweet potato with butter cinnamon, sugar, caramel syrup, and marshmellows. It was an awesome meal. Thank You for all that you do for me. I love you so much. Have a great week at work and with hanging out with your grandsons.
Love Elder Wood

Hello Mom, and Family,
I am doing great this grey day, the river that runs next to the library is running quite high right now. It is so wierd to see these big rivers, I guess I am still use to seeing the weber crick. Ha Ha Ha The weather has been alright lately it has been raining some and sometimes the sun will break through the clouds. It is so nice to see the sun pop through the clouds. And with tornados we had like a 7 out of 10 chance of a tornado but nothing ever came of it. And I heard that it was quite bad down south, I was wondering if anything got close to Elder Puffer. We were in the same warning zone that Brooke and Ryan were in. But all is well up here. Yeah I hope that Elder Puffer is able to get down to Brazil sometime soon, it would be frustrating to be waiting to get down there, but I have not heard anything from him yet, probably the best bet would be to have Natalie ask the Puffers when she goes over there. And I sent Haden a email 2 weeks ago and he sent one back, and he said that he is going to write me a letter soon. But he is doing great he was able to go down to the Monster Truck Jam down in Vegas, the pictures he sent looked like he had some fun down there with his dad.
Drugs do destroy family's and relationships, that is horrible that she got caught up in them. How was Aunt Beth doing at the funeral? Did she have a husband that can take care of the kids? I hope that everyone is able to get through this hard time. But it is a real blessing to know that they will be able to see her again.
But I am going to keep this short today so we can talk a lot next Sunday. But I am doing great we found this lady that is in her upper fifties while tracting. We went over to her house the other day and talked with her about what kind of religious background she had and taught her about where the Book Of Mormon came from and why we have it. She is going to come to church here in two weeks and she is going to bring her two grand kids.
I love all of you so much and I hope life at home is going great.
Love Elder Wood
P.S. I will call home around Three your time. I hope that dad does not have to go to work around that time. And we probably can do three way calling with Brooke and Ryan. We have a family that has laptops with web cams but they don't have the Internet. So we probably won't be able to do that. I wish we could have.
