Hello Mom, and family,
I am doing really good this week. Yesterday my compainon (from Yucipa California) went to two dinners and had dessert at the third, we had ice-cream. So we were stuffed quite full. At the first house we had hot dogs, at the second we had ham baked beans, I had a pepsi and alot of other stuff. And at the third we had some cookie icecream and so it was a pretty good day. The weather here has been pretty gloomy and grey, but you will have one day that you will have some sun pop out of the clouds. This week we have been trying to find some people, and one day we found like three potentials and one new investigator, and so it was a pretty fullfiling day. Oh and I got all of the stuff you had sent. My companion really like the smoothie jelly bellys. And he says thank you
That is good that you had a pretty good day yesterday. How was the weather on saturday? That sounds like Kaleb and Karsten had a good time with the easter eggs and what not. That first house that we had dinner at they have a little girl (about four years old) and they had a easter egg hunt in their house for her and it was fun to be there.
I don't know quite yet what the rules are with calling home, but we are going to a meeting this week and that is probably where we will find that information out. That would be really cool if we were able to talk over skype, but I don't know. Yeah you had better be prepared with what that letter had to say that you had sent me. JK
But I love all of you so much and I hope all is well back home.
Love Elder Wood

Hello Mom, and Family,
I am doing good, it has been snowing this morning but it is all good because I am in a car. And yeah it was raining and then it turned into snow. But right now it is pretty good weather. Last sunday (week ago) is was 85 deg. and the hummidity was way up there. And just a little bit ago we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and I got a steak burger with onion rings on it, it was pretty good. And with the investigators we are doing fine. And I am going to be staying in Monroe for another transfer, so I am pretty happy right now. The funny thing about it is that my companion is going to be the next District leader, so I have been making fun of him. Oh and as far as I know Elder Bradshaw only baptized like two kids (brother & sister). But I did teach the two of them.
You don't have to keep on worrying about my call letter, it is in a safe place and everything is hunky dorry.
MMMM... Did I guess who the stake president was going to be or what. I even told Elder Puffer that his dad was going to be the next stake president in the MTC. I am going to write him a letter here in a minute, and give him a hard time. That is pretty funny.
Thank you so much for the 100 day package it was fun to see Karsten and Kaleb, and to have all of those treats. My companion loved those smoothie Jelly Bellys and says thank you. Is Karsten a red head, in one of the photos it kind of looks like that. But they are both growing up so fast. When I get home Karsten is going to be talking up a storm probably.
But life is going good here in Monroe, and this week we hope to be able to go and find some new people to teach. And I am really excited this week because we are going to the temple on Thursday!!! I here it is pretty small but it is going to be awesome!!! Have they started on the temple already? What is happening with that whole developement? And when is it suppost to be done?
And did you see that Dave (Willouby?) was in that photo at Campus Book Rentals? The funny thing about that is that I was thinking about him just the other day before I recieved that.
I love all of you and hope life is going good back home.

Hello Mom, and Family,
I am doing great this fine slightly rainy day. That is so AWESOME that it is snowing in Utah and not Michigan. I saw when watching conference that it was snowing in Utah. I hope that it will dry up soon. It has been so nice to have no snow for this long, yesterday it was like 90 deg. with humidity, so it was pretty warm. It was so warm yesterday we turned the air conditioner on before we left for a few hours, and when we got back it was a bit chilly. Humidity is going to be a killer. But it is pretty nice here in Monroe, especially with the air conditioner in the car. I don't really know which talk I liked the most, because there were so many to choose from. But when I look through the Ensign I see who I like the best. And I even took notes for the whole conference, but I don't know which one I like the most.
My companion is starting to feel better now, our remedy for his recovery is the pre-made cookie dough from Wal-mart. I have had so many cookies from Wal-mart that it is not even funny, but it is awesome. We had to start running because we are getting fat, I told you that I would get fat on my mission. Yeah even though I had a rough time with bowling it was pretty fun.
Cabela's was pretty cool, but it was kind of painful to go there and not be able to buy anything. But it seemed to be pretty big in there, compared to the one in Lehi. This one had the mountain, and a stream that went for like 100 feet. I think that we are going to go back some time soon. Oh and thank you for waving for me. How was it down at your Aunt Lucy's? How many pages did you make? Did Judy come down and help? I hope that you had a fun time!!!
I hope that Grandpa is able to get feeling better soon. And I hope that Grandmas voice is able to get louder again. How did physical therapy go for Grandpa the other day? Thank you for getting me Grandmas letter here in a few days.
I'm sorry that I made you cry over my call letter, I should have told you it was in that BANKING folder. It was kind of an obscure place to put it, but it was handy at the time. And that is really good that you prayed for it, and thanked Heavenly Father for finding it. But I heard from Natalie that she had found it a little while ago. But I don't know, I'm not there. But thank you for finding it.
So how is everyone doing? How is Suzzane doing? And how is Paula doing, the last I heard was when she slipped on the ice her teeth had cut through her lips. And how is Maddison doing? Is she still kicking it? If not you can tell me when I get home.
Well I am doing great, and it has been a good week. I hope all is well back home, and that everyone is not getting sick. For some reason I have only been sick when I first came out on my mission, I even got better back when it was snowing and I was riding a bike. But have a great week and keep on praying for our contacts, and for me. I love you so much and am thankful for my upbringing.

Hello Mom, and Family,
I am doing great here in Monroe. It is just raining, but it is quite warm. I saw conference and it was snowing in Utah. How much snow did you guys get the other day? Conference was pretty good, it is so good to be out on my mission and be able to go and see it. I learned so much and I hope that I am able to remember the things that I saw. Who was your favorite speaker? My favorite speaker was the one that talked about how ALL of the young men should serve a mission. And those root beer floats were pretty dang good. It was nice to have a little treat before conference. It really wasn't all that much later that I got into bed, I was in bed like at 10:45 p.m. that night. I have been to bed at like midnight once on my mission. The other morning my companion and I went out running, I was in shorts and two shirts and he was all bundled up in a jacket and other winter clothing, and he still got sick. But hopefully he can get better soon because it is not fun at all when you are sick on your mission. Oh and today we went with some other elders from Riverview and we went bowling. It was pretty fun, but as usual it got the lowest scores. But it was fun to go and do that.
Man I thought you could guess where I was with that photo. I was at my favorite store: CABELA'S. And those are bears in the background; they are fighting and there is a moose head below them, but you can't see them. I never would have thought that I would be going to CABELA'S on my mission. I was so sweet to go there. But it was kind of painful not to be able to get anything from there.
I hope that Grandpa is able to get feeling better soon, it is not fun to be able to sit around or do anything really. How is Grandma doing? And what is Grandma Wood's address? I want to write her some letters. How is she doing?
And that older couple are doing great. They are reading the Book Of Mormon and he has read about 24 pages so far. We hope that he is able to read the Book Of Mormon and gain a testimony of it soon.
We also are working with a guy named Fransis, and he has gained a testimony that the church is true, but his only hang up right now is smoking. We had him come down to one cigarette per hour, and then one night we got him to stop completely and he stayed that way for a couple of days. But then he went to his' mothers house and he started up again. So we hope that we can get him to stop soon, by coming down off of it slowly.
I love you guys so much, and am so greatful for all that you have done for me. I hope that you have a great week at work and at play. And how is work going? Do you like the new schedule? And how are the Brownings doing?
