Well this past week turned out to be a pretty good one. So far this transfer I have realized that there is a lot more work then I remembered when it comes time to take over an area. It has been interesting adjusting to a new companion. I don't know if I told you last week, but his name is Elder Faulkner. He is from West Jordan, Utah and has been out for 10 months. It is different working with him because he is different then all of my other companions have been. It isn't a bad different, it is just different. Elder Faulkner comes from an extremely small family. Well his family is small compared to ours, but then again most families are small compared to ours. He is the oldest of 4 kids. So if you include his parents there are six people in his family. I'm not entirely sure how well we are going to get along because we have none of the same hobbies. He has never played ultimate frisbee before and he hasn't spent too much money on R/C cars and stuff. He did do a little bit of stuff when it came to theatre, but not a whole lot. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if President Walkenhorst ever expected for us to get along. Nah, I'm just kidding. So far we are getting along pretty well. We haven't had any problems yet, and hopefully we won't have any problems. He is a really quite guy when you first get to know him, but we are all working on getting him to come out of his shell. I am pretty excited for this upcoming transfer! It should be a pretty good one.
So this past Sunday we continued our 13 week streak of having ZERO investigators at sacrament meeting. We have now made it at least 14 weeks without an investigator at sacrament. It think that has got to be a new mission record or something. Not that any of that is good though. It has been really frustrating not having had any investigators come to church the entire time I've been here. I'm not really sure what we have been doing wrong here to not have been able to see at least one investigator come to church. Hopefully things will start to change here pretty soon or I think I might start to go crazy. It has been a rather trying week for us. I won't go into all the details though because I know that you would all prefer to hear the good things that happened.
The work in the area is also starting to improve. There wasn't a big change, but it has gotten better! We even found a new investigator this past week. We were also able to go see Brother Oakley and have a lesson with him. We saw the Oakley's on Wednesday and Sunday evening. On Wednesday we invited them to the youth fundraiser on Saturday, then when Saturday came they both showed up to the fundraiser. We were really hoping that Brother Oakley would be at church, but unfortunately he didn't make it. It was a real bummer not to be able to see him at church, but there is always next week. We are defiantly keeping out heads held high and not letting anything slow us down. We are defiantly excited for this upcoming week and to see what is going to happen.
Thank you all for everything that you guys do for me! I am so grateful for everything! I love you all!
Love Elder Cameron Woodward
