Ada, Oklahoma -December 10, 2012

Dear everyone,
 
I'm not even sure where to start.  Not because there was a lot that happened this week, but because there wasn't a whole lot that happened.  Overall it was uneventful week.  There were a couple of exciting things that happened though.  After I wrote home last week we drove to Duncan for our zone p-day.  It was a super long drive and there wasn't anything to look at except for dead grass and trees.  That it what all of Oklahoma is looking like these days.  While we were down there we went bowling and I got a 138.  I don't know where that would be on a normal bowling scale, but that was really good for me.  While we were down there the Zone Leaders who are in Duncan said that they met someone who said that they knew Dad.  They said his name was Brian Womack.  I have no idea who that is so if Dad does know him you should fill me in.  I woke up at 12:30 or so with whatever it was that I had again.  Luckily whatever it was is gone.  I am feeling a lot better now. 
 
On Thursday we ended up riding our bikes all over Ada because we had used a bunch of miles on Monday from driving to Duncan.  It wasn't as bad as it sounds like it was, but it was still pretty bad.  Friday We did another exchange with Pauls Valley this time.  We didn't get a whole lot done there because there weren't that many people home for some reason.  It was still pretty fun though.  I got to drive for the first time out here.  I'm not really sure why Elder Hernandez didn't drive but I'm not going to complain.  It was really weird at first just because it had been so long since I drove.  It didn't take me very long to get used to driving again though.  Saturday night we had another lesson with Christina and Jerry.  We went over the Stop Smoking Workshop with her.  It was really cool at the end.  She committed to quit smoking and then she crushed up her cigarettes.  I'm not sure how she is doing so far but we are supposed to be meeting with her tonight so we will find out then.  The other really cool thing was we had a lesson with Carrie as well.  She is still wanting to be baptized so that is going to happen this Saturday at 4.  I don't think that there is anything that will stop her from getting baptized.
 
I found out that I don't even get a full two years to serve anymore.  I am three days short of two years now.  Because of the age change and the time english speaking missionaries will be in the MTC, the January-March transfer is only going to be 5 weeks.  That is why it will be a week shorter.  So now I will be coming home on (or around) October 14, 2014. 
 
So yeah, it was a slower week.  But I still love being out here and being able to serve.  It is so much fun.  I can't even remember what we do all day.  There is so much that happens in one day and I don't even know where all of the time goes. 
 
Well I love you all! thank you for everything you are doing.  Have fun at home and be happy.
 
Love Elder Woodward
