Hey Family!
Well things are still going well for me here in Woodward! We are still working with Herman and Carolyn, and they are still doing really well. They invited us out to their house last Thursday to have dinner with them before our lesson with them. We still haven't heard anything new from President Walkenhorst, so we are still going over and encouraging them from time to time. After dinner with them we taught Herman about the Stop Smoking Workshop. Other then waiting to hear from our mission president the only other holdup is that Herman is still smoking. I kinda think that as soon as Herman quits smoking we will hear back from President. But that is just me. So we taught him the workshop and he told us that he just wasn't sure if he was ready to quit yet. He told us that he would pray that night and then let us know what he decided he was going to do. We went back the next night and followed up with him and he told us that he felt like he really needed to. So he is going to give the stop smoking workshop a try. So as always there is more news to come.
We are still working with Brenda. She is still progressing slowly. Normally when we go over to see her we ready from the Book of Mormon with her and then go through and talk about what happened. This past time we ready 1 Nephi 5-6 and as we were going through and explaining it, we got to the part where it talks about Lehi's genealogy and how he is related to Joseph. When we were explaining that I felt like I needed to introduce her to family history work. So we explained a little bit about it then invited her to go to the family history center here in Woodward. So the next day the Egnews went and picked her up and brought her to the Family History Center. From what I heard Brenda really liked it. So now she knows where the church is and knows a couple of people from the branch! It was a 2 for 1 deal.
Mary cancelled the third appointment we had in a row with her. It is starting to get really frustrating having this happen every time. Elder Birch and I are convinced that she is preparing herself for the zombie apocalypse. Every time she cancels it is so she can go work on a building she owns, but she won't tell us anything about it. The other theory that we came up with is that she is really a secret millionaire and this building is where she keeps all of her money hidden. So who wants to take a guess as to which of those theories is right? I am going with the zombie apocalypse.
Oh and by the way, my vision is getting kinda bad so I am going to talk to Sister Walkenhorst about it and then have her call you to she what you have to think about it. I just thought you would like a little forewarning. Haha just kidding that already happened. I am sorry for the surprise though. I hope I didn't scare you too bad. As you said earlier, it is Halloween soon so I thought that I would get my scary pranks out of the way. I would have let you know, but I didn't really even think about it till Saturday night when I called her. As of right now though, there is nothing else that is wrong. I am doing really well and can't really complain.
Well there isn't to much more to say. So I am sure Mom is already counting down the days, but for those of you who don't know, I will see you all in 360 days. It will be here before you know it. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love Elder Cameron Woodward
