Keep on keeping on

Hey friends and family! :)

First off, thanks for all your emails and support! It makes all the difference and I appreciate it a ton :)

Next, I guess I’ll talk about my week a little ;)

Doing service on exchanges

So this week, I don't have my journal with me so I'm gonna try to remember as much as possible off the top of my head :p On Tuesday, we had zone conference. That went pretty good! It's always super fun to see the missionaries you know and connect with all your new friends. I've gotten super close to some of them and it's a real good time :) We played the name game for a segment of it and it got super competitive! Haha I was one of the last leaders and then one of the senior couples guessed I was Freddy Mercury....

I went on exchanges this week with Elder Abbott, my district leader :) That was a lot of fun. We biked down to Porter because Elder Abbott doesn't have any poor sections in his area so he wanted to go. We talked to a less active named Red Dry. Haha he's super nice and he and Abbott got along super well. He promised he would come back to church but he didnt... RIP.

We had dinner with the Lane family. They are probably one of my favorite families here. The kids have lived in Kingwood their whole life and we started talking about what we wanted to do after the mission. While I was talking I showed them a picture of the ocean in Hawaii and the daughters started crying because they have never seen pretty blue ocean water cause the water in Galveston is super dirty... Haha so now all the kids are obsessed with Hawaii.

I think one of the highlights of my week was we were knocking some less actives and as were walking down the street this 40 year old man in a baby blue minivan comes cruising down the street going 30 miles per hour over the speed bumps in the street blasting Nickelback as high as his speakers went. Just so classic. That's an image I'll never forget XD

My fly suit I want

Today we went to Burlington and that’s like the best store. They have dope clothes and they are all super cheap. I so wanted to get this super slick blazer but I decided not to last second cause I couldn't wear it while doing work... but I looked fly. ;)

This week I've studied a ton about faith and prayer. That’s helped me realize everything is determined by your faith and reliability on the Lord. If you want anything to go right in your life, you need to humble yourself and realize you can't do anything without the Lord.

Well, I love you all so, so much! Keep on keeping on :)

Love,
Elder Wood
