Things have been going really well for me and Elder Tanner this past week. We ended up having a really good week and we saw lots of miracles happen! Last week was also a pretty crazy week for us. We were super busy last Monday and Tuesday with everything that was going on here in our mission for these days. Last Monday we were down in Lawton most of the day because we had a Zone P-day. Our entire zone met down in Lawton to do some activities and spend some time with each other. We ended up playing football for part of the time. You could probably expect this, but I would have much rather played Frisbee instead. Oh well it was still a fun day. We stayed down in Lawton for the rest of the day cause we had our specialized training for this transfer. It was a good training and I was able to receive some good inspiration from it. We spent the night down in Lawton as well so that we wouldn't have to drive back down on Tuesday morning for our Zone Conference. Zone Conference was really good, just like it always is. The end of this Zone Conference was a little bit different for me this time. At the end of our Zone Conferences we have a testimony meeting where all of the missionaries that are going to leave the mission before the next Zone Conference are invited up to give there "departing" testimony. So since this is my last transfer I obviously was invited to go up and bear my testimony. Everything went well. When I went back to my seat and sat down is when everything hit me. I hadn't thought about it a lot before, but after I sat down it dawned on me that I really am about to go home and that I really don't have a lot of time left as a full time missionary. It was a sad moment for me as I sat there and listened to others get up to bear their testimonies. I'm sure Mom and Dad remember what it felt like to be in that situation realizing how close to the end of the mission they were. I don't really know what words to use to describe it.
The rest of the week kinda went by in a blur. Everything happened so fast. We were able to contact a lot of our investigators last week and have some really good lessons with them. I got to go on exchanges with the Elders down in Elgin last Friday as well. We have been getting a lot of good work done in the past couple of weeks and are seeing some cool miracles come from it.
I am doing well out here and loving the work. Thanks for all that you guys have done for me!
Love Elder Woodward
