Hey Mom,
I am doing pretty good today, its weird it is week 30 already. The sun is out today and its going to be a nice day. That is good that you were able to spend some time with Brooke and Ryan. I was thinking about Brooke and Ryan not being able to come back out until later because of her pregnacy. But the time will fly by until you see them again. And that is crazy about that dream that you had of you and me walking down the road together. Maybe that will happen some day, maybe I'll be working in the construction industry. IDK
But everything is going well with me today, we are going over to the Careys in a few hours and we're going to get on the roof to see if everything is ok after we had some high winds and hail come over a few days ago. So thats going to be cool. Oh and yesterday we had a missionary farewell from the Monroe ward. He is going to Tawain on his mission and he is leaving for SLC on Saturday with his mom. And just looking back seven months ago waiting to go to the MTC. The fair is coming up this coming Sunday so that is where we are going to be spending the better part of the week. It is going to be so nice to be in the airconditioning, and to go and have some fun at the fair. One of our investigators is going to introduce us to their grandchildren that are going to work at the 4H club. And one of them are going to show us around that area of the fair. But everything is goin as usual, just trying to find new people to teach and trying so hard to get the ward to do their home teaching. I hope that you have a good week at work, and that you keep on reading the scriptures and praying every night. I Love you
Love Elder Wood
Elder Tyler Wood entered the MTC on Wednesday, January 5, 2011. He left for the Michigan, Detroit Mission on Monday, January 24, 2011.

Howdy Mother,
I am doing quite fine this beautiful day, the sun is out, the birds are chirpping, and the grass is growing. So in all the everything is going peachy. That is what I herd from the Careys is that the Brigham City Temple has the angel Moroni on it. That is crazy how fast they can build a temple now. How much of the temple is completed? Like does it look almost done from the outside? On LDS.ORG they have some photos of it being built, and it is still being formed up for the concrete. That is fun that you were able to watch grandpa and grandma in the parade. Sounds like you had quite the party afterwards. And that is AWESOME that Levi is going to Mexico on his mission, that is going to be quite the culture change for him. And that is sad to hear that Ryan's mom died, and that is good that they were able to be there. I hope that Ryan is doing good.
But for me it has been a good week, today we are going to get a new 2011 Ford Fusion. Its going to be sweet, we just need to clean our car up. So I'm excited about that. And it was kind of weird to think that Elder Bradshaw is going home and that I am still in Michigan. But that sounds like he is doing good back home. Did he have his welcome home this week? or is it next week? Nicole Sheil is moving along, she came to church yesterday and all is going well with her. And we picked up another investigator yesterday, her mom was baptized several years ago, and yesterday we taught her and the moms boyfriend. It was pretty cool to do that. The county fair is coming up here in a few weeks and so that is where we are going to be spending alot of time. This fair brings in anywhere from 250,000 to 300,000 people, hopefully we can find some people to teach out of that many people. Have you given those pass along cards out yet? I can't remember do those cards have a sticker on the back of them with our number on them? So all is well here. Keep on being awesome and remember to read your scriptures and pray every night.
Love your son Elder Wood

Hello Mom,
Man you guys stay up late writing these emails, but thank you for all of the letters you send me. And your welcome for the letter, and for those pass along cards you are to find someone to give those to. It is a little bit harder to give those away in Utah being that it is a little bit more populated with Mormons, but there are people out there that you are specifically ment to bring into the Gospel. I hope that you have been having a good week.
That is awesome that you were able to go to Brikell's babyshower. Has Jared and Kristi had their baby yet? That is cool that things are progressing with the temples. And speaking of temples we were able to go with the Careys up to the Detroit Temple to do baptisms for the dead. It was awesome to be able to be with the Careys for their first time in the temple. In August we are going to the temple again with them, but this time they will be sealed as a family. I am so excited for them, and they are too. Nicole Sheil is still planning on being baptized in August. But all is well here and today we are going to Dundee with the Careys, and guess where we are going. .......................................... You Guessed it we are going to Cabela's. But have a great week and always remember to read your scriptures and pray and go to church.

July 5, 2011 (Week 27(6 months!))
Hello Mom,
I am doing this fine 5th of July. It was pretty sweet in Monroe everyone was lighting up fireworks last night. I couldn't see the fireworks but I could certainly hear them last night. In some of the towns around they shoot the fireworks over the water and you can go out on boats and watch them. AND THEY LEGALLIZED FIREWORKS THAT SHOOT UP IN THE AIR? The year that I leave they change the law. Oh well in a couple of years I'll be able to shoot off some fireworks again. That is fun that you were able to go up to Sourdough and spend the weekend up there with the family. I bet it was nice to be able to throw everything into the back of the truck and go up there. Did Ryan go fishing?
This last week I got a cold and so it hasn't been the best of weeks, but I am coming around and getting better. I went and bought some NyQuil and that stuff will nock you out. That is pretty cool to hear from Elder Bradshaw. Yeah that Lora we went and taught her one night on her doorstep, it was pretty cool. And then a couple weeks down the road we had a lesson with some of the neighbor girls and Lora which lasted for about two hours, consisting of the plan of salvation and the gospel. It was one of the coolest lessons that I have been to. And by the sounds of it she is starting to act on some of the things that we asked her to do. Nicole came to church yesterday that is sweet that she is still moving forward with being baptized. And later on today we have a referral that came from Temperance and he sounds to be quite young, and so we are quited excited to teach him today. Right now we have so many older couples that we are teaching, I don't know why but we are just attracted to them. Sometimes it is quite hard to teach them because they like to talk so much. Sometimes it is so funny what they say. And then one more person we were able to find through tracting, we found her a couple of weeks ago, and she asked if we would come back after the holiday. We hope to teach her family too. This is Elder Bradshaws last week, it just seems so crazy that I have been out for six months already, I remember when I first came out and saw him, and then the next day becoming companions with him, and he had six months at that time. And now the time has come. Before I know it is going to be December and it will be half way over.
But have a great day and I hope that this move will go smoothly for you. I love you and remember to read your scriptures.
