October 3, 2011 (Week 40)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Mom,

I am doing well this the third of October. Yeah I thought of you too watching conference, there were many good talks given. I don't know if it is because I am a missionary but there have been many talks given on missionary work. Last week my companion and I only saw each other for like two whole days, it is kind of not fun having a companion that is district leader. But this next transfer he is not going to be the district leader and we are going to be together for another transfer. So that is going to be fun to be his last companion. He is kind of getting sad that his mission is coming to a close, so we have been talking of how we need to go out with a bang, and do all that we can.

Here are some questions for you:
1. Where did you see/hear conference this weekend? We watched conference at the church (priesthood) and at several members homes.
2. What was your favorite part? My favorite talk was given by Elder Scott on reading the Book Of Mormon, and why we have it in our lives.
3. Are the members taking care of feeding you, or do you do your own cooking? The members have been taking care of us, the have been feeding us and helping us out with coming to lessons with us.
4. Is there anything that you need right now? No I am doing good with the stuff that I have, my shirts are looking bright and clean. I have learned that laundry is pretty easy to do.
5. Are you getting transferred this week? I am not getting transferred this week.
6.I need to write my transfer letter to her. That was one of the conditions that I left with in Monroe.

So I am doing well and we are going to have a sweet week, we're going to have a couple of new elders in the district, and our zone leaders are also changing (they are in our district). But have a good week, and keep up the good work. Have you had any missionary opportunities? Have you been reading the Book Of Mormon? If not think of how it has been a blessing in your life.

Love Elder Wood
