Dear Woodward's,
Well I would just like to let you know that Oklahoma is perfect and everyone goes to church every week. It my not be the LDS church but they go to church. Well most of them do. Actually not really. Even though it is the Bible belt there are still a lot of people who don't go to church. Surprise! The only problem left is that we need to find those people who are ready to accept the gospel and get them interested in learning about the church. It is all a lot harder to do then you would think. Hopefully with all of the conference talks given on member missionary work the members up here will start to be more willing to help us and introduce us to their non-member friends. That is something that you could all do back home! If there is someone you know that isn't a member, talk to the missionaries and have a family home evening with the missionaries and your friends! I can promise you that the missionaries there would really love you if you did that. And then if you don't know who you can invite to meet with the missionaries, pray and ask Heavenly Father to help you find someone!
So this was another really slow week for us. This entire past week we have hardly been able to get a hold of anyone. Everything that we tried to do fell through, so we were left with nothing to do. By the end of the week things started to get a little bit better. Friday night was the most interesting night from last week. We went to try a investigator named Alberto. We got there and he was outside with a couple of his friends, one of which was drunk as a skunk. We stayed there and talked to them for about an hour most of the time the drunk one kept asking us a bunch of random questions then would move on before we had the chance to answer. It was really funny to have happen. Nothing ended up coming out of it since Alberto's friend was so drunk and he never let anyone else say anything. At one point he tried to tell us that we couldn't be out on our missions trying to spread the word of God unless we knew about the things that were happening in the world. He then invited us over to his house to watch the news with him one evening. Needless to say I don't think we will be going over any time soon.
Well like I said it was a slow week so there isn't a whole lot to mention. One of these days I will have some really exciting news to tell you. You will just have to sit and wait until that day comes. I love you all! Have a fantastic week!
Love Elder Woodward
