Things sure sound like they have been a lot of fun for everyone over the past week. Darcy and Emmie get to go play soccer all week. Ian and Mom get to go watch the girls play soccer and not worry about anything else. Rolando, Gislene, and Zander will want to sit and watch TV for a week straight. Braeden will sit and play xbox. So I guess that leaves Dad to do everything else at home. I think that Dad got the short end of the stick this time around. You might want to at least flip a coin to see who takes the girls to the soccer camp next time Dad.
So now to give you an update on my week. We had a really good week out here in Anadarko. We had a lot of fun things happen. Friday July 4th was probably the most exciting day of the week. Obviously the 4th of July is always a fun day, but I thought this year was a really fun day. We were able to talk to the lady who was in charge of everything for the 4th of July here in Anadarko and got a booth set up at the park where everything was going to be taking place. We spent most of our day down there and got to talk to a lot of people. We had a really good day doing that. We got a couple of potential investigators from it, but more important then that was that we got to talk with a lot of people. At one point during the day Elder Tanner and I even got to help sign people in for the annual turtle race. Then to end the day we got to stay out until 11 that night so that we could watch some fireworks. It was nice to be able to get to do that.
One of the other things that we were able to do last week was go see an investigator named Alfredo. He is a really good kid that we have been able to work with over the last couple of weeks. We were able to teach him a lesson about the restoration of the gospel. We had a really good lesson with him and he seemed to be able to understand all of what we taught him. I feel like he does have a sincere desire to do what is right. At the end of the lesson we invited him to pray and ask if the Book of Mormon is true, and when he prayed with us there he actually asked right there if it was true. That was really cool to have happen, because as far as I can remember, that is the first time I have had an investigator pray and ask if something was true while we were there with them. That was nice to have happen. So we are really excited to get to keep working with him.
So this past week we were able to get out to a couple of the outlying towns in our area and do some work out there. We didn't get to spend too much time out and away from Anadarko, but the time we did get out was good. We saw a lot of good things happen.
Well I think that that is about all for us this week. Thank you for everything that you guys do for me! Have a great week everyone and be safe!
Love Elder Woodward
