Hey!
Wow it has already been a week since I wrote you last. And another month has already come and gone. I can't believe that we are already 1/3 of the way through the month. Life is great and I am loving my mission! I really can't complain about much. Elder Birch and I had a really good week. Well we had a good week apart from the time that we were both sick, and I lost my voice. That wasn't so great.
So Herman and Carolyn got baptized last Saturday evening, and they were both confirmed on Sunday! It was really cool to get to be there for their baptisms. They showed up a little early to get changed and so we could get pictures. When they got to the church Sister Egnew was in the kitchen getting the cookies and punch ready for after the baptism. Herman saw her doing this, so he came up to us and said "If I would have know we would have had punch and cookies, we would have done this a long time ago." If only it was that easy to get someone to commit to baptism, I would be spending a lot more money on punch and cookies. It was a really good baptismal service. The most stressful part was when the person that Herman and Carolyn had asked to baptize them showed up late. He got there, but we were worried. It has been really fun getting to work with them over the past four months.
Most of the week we didn't have very much going on, and the few appointments that we had cancelled. We only had one appointment that didn't cancel on us. It turned out to be a really good lesson though. We went over and saw an investigator, Ashley, and talked to her about the Book of Mormon some more. The Egnews had seen her a couple of days before and given her a copy of the Book of Mormon, and when we saw her on Saturday she had already read to 2 Nephi. She is a really solid investigator and love everything that we have talked about so far. Just before we left we briefly touched on the Plan of Salvation and talked about how families can be together forever. When we told her that her face lit up. It is going to be fun to get to keep working with her.
So last night transfer calls came in. Like I told you last week I was expecting to be transferred to another area, but I found out last night that I am going to be staying in Woodward for another transfer. I was so surprised to find out I was staying here with Elder Birch for another transfer. So again there are no changes going to be made. Which I am ok with because there was just a lot that started to happen. It is going to be fun though.
Well that is about all for this week. I hope you all have a great week! Love you all tons!
Love Elder Woodward
