Hey!
Well yet again, another week has come and gone. And in another week I will hit my 14 month mark. I still can't believe how fast it is going by! I do know that it is going by way to fast though! There's nothing I can do to slow it down, so I am just taking each and every day as it comes at me.
Elder Birch and I had an interesting week here in Woodward. As always there were lots of good and bad things that happened. As for the bad things, it has been so miserably cold here. Last Tuesday was the last time we had any relatively good weather. It was about 70 degrees then on Wednesday it dropped below 20 degrees, and has been at or below 20 since then. But that isn't that bad having grown up in Utah. The thing that made it so miserable was the wind chill. Whenever the wind blows here, it is so cold and blows so hard that it blows right through everything that you are wearing and freezes you to the bone. Then the wind keeps blowing and so you get even more cold. It is just fantastic. The wind is really the only thing that makes the weather bad here.
Other then the weather being so cold there isn't much else that happened. We weren't able to see any of our investigators this past week. The highlight of our week came from a mormon.org referral that we got. About halfway through the week we got a referral for a man named Jose. It turns out he saw an ad online to receive a free copy of the Bible. We didn't know that when we first went over because we didn't get the whole message. When we went over to see him we told him we were missionaries and he let us right in his home. That is when he told us that he had asked for a Bible. We didn't have one with us so we sat down and talked to him for a little while. He asked us where we got the nickname "mormon" from, so we told him it came from the Book of Mormon. We then went on to give him a brief introduction to the Book of Mormon and he really took interest when we told him the Christ came to the Americas to teach the people here. I felt like he really liked that. We then told him about Christ's Ministry and the Great Apostasy, then the Restoration through Joseph Smith. We ended up giving him a copy of the Book of Mormon, and he told us we could stop by again. Needless to say Elder Birch and I were both really excited about that.
Well that is all from me this week. Love you all! Merry Christmas!
Love Elder Woodward
