Hello Sister Wood, and Family (I.e. Natalie),

I am doing great this fine beautiful spring day. I am doing great here in Monroe, this morning we did a spring cleaning of the apartment. It is so much cleaner, but compared to my other apartment in Shaefer it is alot cleaner. That is great that you and Natalie is were able to go to the General Young Women's Broadcast. Was it good? Who spoke at it? We had a less active family go to that, all of the girls at least.

I am going to be watch G. Conference at some of the members houses, and we are going to watch it at the church some of the time. And before priesthood session we are going to have root beer floats, it is going to be awesome. And that night the priesthood session does not end until ten o'clock. it is going to be weird getting in that late. But it is going to be awesome receiving knowledge from the brethren.

That is good that you are going to be going down to your Aunt Lucy's. Who all is going down there other than you? And Natalie would go to Judy's. HA HA HA Do you know what Natalie is going to try and do, she is going to want to stay the night. JK

But the older couple that I talked about this past week, we finally got a large print BOM to them. And now he is going to be able to read it. We have most of the same views on things, but he is pro union and I am not. But he doesn't know that. It is so funny talking to old people because they like to talk so much, it just cracks me up so much. But we are hoping that the two of them will come to church soon, when the weather gets to be a little bit warmer. And the great thing about it is they love President Hinckley!

We have another investigator that has been wanting to come to church for the past few months, but his parents would not let him. His parents are strong Catholics and they will now consider other religions views. So yesterday he built the courage up to go to Church. And now his parents took his car away, and he is wanting to move out of his parents house. We hope that we can find him a place to stay, and a job. Coming out on a mission really shows you how blessed you really are. So thank you so much bringing me up to be the person that I am now.

But I need to get going and have a great day. Have a fun time at your Aunt Lucy's and be safe going down there.

Love Elder Wood
