After we finished up emailing we left to go to Duncan for our Zone
P-day. We got there a little bit late but it wasn't that big of a deal
because we started out with bowling again. The first game was the best
game I had. I scored a 181 with four strikes in a row to finish up the
game. I was so proud of that score. Some of the Elders in my zone
started a thing where you had to do push ups equal to the difference
between the highest scorer of the game and your total. So if I had
joined in on that game I would have won with a score of 181 and the next
closest score behind me was 120. And then that time they decided to do
double push ups, so again if I had joined he would have had to do 122
push ups. I was mad that I didn't join in that game for obvious
reasons.
So last Tuesday was an exciting day for us. It is not for the
reasons that you are probably thinking. What happened was we got a
brand new car for our area. And by brand new I mean it had just gotten
out to the mission field and when we got it there had only been 145 mile
drove with it. All of that happened because we didn't have a bike rack
for our other car. It was super exciting.
We were able to reschedule Christina's baptism for this Saturday,
the 19th. Elder Fee is going to be coming back here on Saturday to do
the baptism which is exciting for all of us. She asked me if I would
confirm her in Sacrament Meeting next week so I am excited for that.
Christina has come a long way since we met her almost 10 weeks ago. It
doesn't seem like it has been that long that I have been in the field.
She was one of the first people I met on my mission so I have been able
to see her change from day 1. So as you can probable guess she came to
church yesterday. That was one of the most stressful church meetings I
have been to. What had happened was with everything that Christina had
to do to get ready so that she could go to church she forgot to take her
medicine yesterday morning. So she got to church and we sat down and
we had just finished the Sacrament when she turned to Elder Jones and I
and told us we needed to take her out into the hall (She was in a
wheelchair because she was having trouble walking). So we got her out
into the hall and she started to have a seizure. We had seen this
before so we were kinda used to it. What made it stressful was that she
needed to go home after that happened and we weren't sure if it would
count for her 3rd time being at church. I don't know if you know this
but investigators need to come to church 3 time before they can be
baptized. So we got her a ride home and then we called President Taylor
to see if she could still be baptized. He said that she could and that
she had demonstrated enough faith to show that she knew the importance
of going to church. So she is still going to be baptized on Saturday.
So that wrapped up my week here in Ada. Everything is still going
really well. We just started the 4th week of this transfer, so we are
more then half way done. If I follow in Elder Fee's footsteps I could
be training a new missionary in a couple of weeks. That would be kinda
crazy don't you think. I think it would be but at the same time it
could be super fun. So that is all for now. I love you all and I hope
you are having a great time now that you are back in school.
Love Elder Woodward
