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.

Love Elder Wood
