Hey family and friends!

So, sorry about the short abrupt letter last week, I didn’t have a ER trip planned into my schedule... :p

Elder Sheppard’s ankle is still hurt super bad, but we got a car temporarily! So I guess it's all worth it ;) haha oh man... he's been on crutches all week and the doctor told him to stay on them till this Friday and we have to go back for him to check it again to make sure nothing is broken.

This week has been kinda slow due to injury... But with our car we were able to still get out and work! So that was really good. We made a list of all of our members in our area like I did in Jennings and we are trying to get with all the less active. So that's been going good. Our ward is about 30% percent active so we have quite a bit to work with!

Haha so something kinda funny is ever since I've got here in Kingwood 7 out of 10 meals we have are lasagna. Like for reals... all the Kingwood Elders say they have really never had lasagna in their time here but I show up and all of a sudden literally everyone and their dog makes lasagna. Haha it's like a never ending joke by now... we are like "Gee, I wonder what's for dinner tonight? I hope it's lasagna! We haven't had that forever!" Haha oh man... my body is SO ready for something other than cheese and red sauce... Haha but, the members are so so nice to be willing to feed us and I thank them graciously for every meal and tell them all it's the best lasagna I've ever had ;)

C* canceled his baptismal interview this week... So we aren't sure if he's going to get baptized. Prayers for him would be much appreciated. Hopefully we can keep working with him and he will choose to get baptized into this church.

This week I went on exchanges with my District Leader Elder Abbott. I lead out my area and we had a lot of fun. We had a dinner and they reminded us that it was Mardi Gras and so they loaded us up with beads and all kinds of cheap plastic collectibles :p so that was fun I guess ;)

Anyways, besides that, not much new has happened this week. I'm still amazed at how pretty it is here and how kind the people are :) I'm going to hit 6 months this week and it's gone by incredibly fast! I can't wait to serve the Lord for a year and a half more!

I love you all! Thanks for everything!

Love,
Elder Wood
