June 13, 2011 (Week 24)

Howdy Mom and Family,

I am doing good today, the sun is out and life is peachy. I'm not sweating to bad because of the sweet airconditioning in the car and apartment. That is pretty sweet that you are in California, my last companion lives only like a half hour away from there. That is awesome that you are going to the Newport Temple. I'll have to go and see what that one looks like. And I bet that there is a lot of people at Disneyland, school is getting out all around the country. That is not fun that your class is boring, just think that you were able to go to California on an executive jet, all expense paid trip.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ALL OF THE GIRLS GETTING MARRIED? It just blows me away that all of the kids that I went to school with are now growing up and getting married. Do you know when she is getting married, and where? And now one of my sisters are getting married from trek. I just don't know anymore. I still feel like I am a kid, maybe one day I won't feel this way.

That is good that you were able to meet Steven Reed, if you see him again tell him that there are two parts to the mission. You have the city (Detroit) and then you have all of the surrounding areas that are a lot like home. Is he going on his mission in a couple of weeks? Our next transfer is coming up in a month. This transfer seems like it has blown past.

I am doing pretty good, this past week we were able to find a lady through tracting that is going to let us come back on sat. It is always nice when you find someone that is prepared to listen and learn out the gospel. And hopefully we will be having a baptism here this next week for Nicole Shiel.

Have a great rest of your trip, and when you come home that you are able to travel safely. I love you so much, and thank you for all that you do for me. And by the way were you able to send out that childrens hymn cd, and book?

Love Elder Wood
