It is good to hear that things are going well at home. There is always something to keep the Woodward family busy and occupied. I can't believe that you let Gislene have that much Wasabi on her food. I bet that her reaction to tasting the wasabi was priceless. I really would have liked to see that. Back when I was in Wichita Falls with Elder Kahawaii, the bishop's family has some sushi at their house with wasabi and he thought it would be a good idea to put an entire spoonful of wasabi on top of a piece of sushi. Oh boy that was a really funny day! I am sure Gislene's reaction was really funny though. You should get a bunch of wasabi sauce and tell all of the kids that it is ice cream then give them all a bunch. That would be fun.
Things this past week have been pretty good. They weren't always the best, but we made it through and are looking forward to another great week! There hasn't been a whole lot of change from last week. Our investigator, Jeff, hasn't made a whole lot of progress. He is still having a big holdup with how the priesthood was restored to Joseph Smith. His concern is mostly with Peter, James, and John being resurrected beings, and he wants to know why Christ didn't just come to restore the priesthood himself. So I have just been lost on how to help him overcome these concerns. At least he hasn't brought up anything about women not being able to hold the priesthood. That would make things a lot of fun.
Other then Jeff we were able to go see one other investigator this past week. Her name is Tammy. Elder Faulkner and I are really excited to get to start working with her. Elder Faulkner and Elder Gunderson found her one day when I was on an exchange, so all that I had to go off of was what Elder Faulkner had told me. We went over on Thursday evening and sat outside with her. She had read through the Restoration pamphlet that we had left with her a couple of days before so she had some questions for us about what she read. She had gotten a couple of misconceptions about what she had read, so we cleared those up for her. One of the things that she thought after she read through the pamphlet was that the Book of Mormon replaced the Bible, so we explained that it didn't replace the bible or anything like that. She told us that the Book of Mormon wasn't meant to replace the Bible made so much more sense to her and that she would really like to read the Book of Mormon, so we left her with a copy. We will defiantly be going over to see her later on this week.
I am doing really well. I am still trying to get a long with Elder Garner, but that is just how things go I guess. I am still alive and well though. Missionary work is great! I love every minute of it!
I will just send a separate email to try and figure everything out with Skype for Mothers Day. You can defiantly tell that I have been on my mission for a while since I have no idea how to use any of that stuff. I never had any interest in Skype when I was home, so I am even more lost now. Go a head and laugh at me if you feel the need to.
So thank you for everything that you guys do for me! I love all of you and can't wait to talk to you all this Sunday! It should be a really good day! Thank you again!
Love Elder Woodward
