Elder Wood has officially arrived in the mission field and has met his new companion and started the work. They are assigned to the Rosamond ward, although they live and meet in nearby Mojave, California. It sounds like they get some daily exercise running to a nearby park (he says 0.8 miles total there and back), and on Monday, their Preparation Day, played some Ultimate Frisbee.
His spiritual thought for the week is 1 Nephi 15:9: "And they said unto me: We have not; for the Lord maketh no such thing known unto us." He notes that they are waiting for the Lord to give them revelation, but are unsuccessful. Instead, we must seek revelation. The Lord loves effort.
