Dear Woodward Family,
Well sorry to disappoint you all, but Christina wasn't able to be
baptized on Saturday like we had hoped for. The good news about it
though was it wasn't because she smoked again. She was doing everything
that she was supposed to do. The reason that she couldn't be baptized
like we had planned was because of her health. She went into the ER a
couple days before her baptism because she was having some problems with
her health again. While she was there the doctors ran some tests on
her leg because it was really swollen and a bunch of other bad stuff.
They weren't able to figure out what it was so they told her that it
wouldn't be safe for someone else to get in the water with her. She had
some open sores on her leg and so whatever it was that she had would
get into the water and whoever else was in the water would be at risk of
getting whatever it was that she had. That would have ended up being
Elder Fee and I, and I don't want to get whatever it was that she had.
The doctors said that it could either develop into a staff infection or
maser. So we decided that it wouldn't be a wise choice to do the
baptism now. She is going to be moving this week so we won't be able
to see her get baptized. Oh well, Heavenly Father has a plan and He
knows what He is doing.
Thursday night was not a very fun night for me. Elder Jones and I
decided that I am allergic to eggs after what happened. We had gone to a
members house for dinner that night and he had made us chicken and
dumplings. To my great surprise the dumplings had eggs in them and I
was not aware of that. Part way through the meal I could tell there was
something in the dinner that my body didn't like. Elder Jones asked
how he made the dumplings. That was when I found out there were eggs.
As soon as we left his house I walked across the street and threw
everything up. Elder Jones saw this and asked if I was ok. I thought I
was but by the time we made is halfway to out next appointment my
throat was completely swollen and I couldn't breath out of my nose.
Elder Jones thought that I was dying. We cancelled our appointments and
went back to the apartment for the evening. Overall is was not a very
fun experience so I have decided to stay away from eggs for the time
being.
Other then that, everything has been going really well for us in
Ada. The work here has really started to pick up these past two weeks.
It has been great getting to work here in Ada and getting to know all
the members here. I wouldn't mind coming back here later on in my
mission.
Well I am sure that by know you are all dying to know where I am
going to. Any last guesses? Shannon and Kelsey were wrong by guessing
Archer and Baylor Texas. The only areas in Texas are Wichita Falls and
Burkburnet. Woodward is being opened this transfer by Sister
missionaries so the chances that I will go there are very slim now. I
won't be staying in the Duncan zone so Ian, Emmie and Anne are out. I'm
not even sure where Sayre is, so Ian's second guess is wrong. Dad
guessed Stillwater Darcy guessed Norman and Zander Guessed Kingfisher,
which are all super close to my new area. Mom said somewhere in
Oklahoma City, which in a sense is right. Are you ready to know? Ok I
will tell you. I will be Following Elder Fee up to Edmond, Oklahoma. I
will be in Edmond 2nd, so I will be right by Elder Fee but he won't be
my companion. He will be my Zone Leader though. I am pretty excited
about it. So I ended up right in the middle of Dad's, Darcy's and
Zander's guesses. I am excited to be getting to go up to the city now.
It is going to be a lot of fun. I'm not sure who my companion is going
to be yet. Last night when we found out I was told who it was, but I'm
not sure if it is right. Elder Jones said that my companion is
supposed to be training this next transfer so that is where we are
confused. We could be getting put in a tripanionship. So I will let
you know next week when I know for sure who my companion is.
I think its funny that mom said I should stay with a companion for
more then one transfer because I am Elder Jones's 4th companion and he
is finishing up his 4th transfer. So he has been with someone new every
transfer so far. And he will be with someone new next transfer.
Well that is about all that happened with me this week. It is
going to be different going to the city and working there. So yeah,
Love you all. Have a good week. I will talk to you again next week.
Love, Elder Woodward
