This may be the last entry from Plum Canyon - transfers are coming up this week, and since Elder Wood has been here for 3 transfers (aka 12 weeks or 3 months) he thinks it's fairly likely he'll be going somewhere else. But we'll find out next time!
There were a fair number of technical difficulties today; for some reason the elders' phones weren't getting good service so we had to hang up/call again/listen to garbled static several times. So this call was a little shorter than normal. It sounds like the days and weeks are blending together, though, so we didn't miss much.
The highlight of the week was a wedding that they attended on Saturday. A member of the Plum Canyon ward, who has recently started coming back to church, married someone from another ward. She was married by their local bishop in their church building, and Elder Wood and Elder Krumbah got to help with setup and cleanup. They were also asked to decorate one of the cakes (it sounds like there were three), but they agreed that this "was probably a mistake" :-) Apparently it went badly; I asked for photos and Elder Krumbah did have one but Elder Wood hasn't sent it to me. Maybe next week!
Other than the wedding, the quick hits I got this week were: They are continuing their weekly scripture study night and have had about 7 people attend each of the 3 weeks. He got to pet German Shepherds this week! (Strays apparently, but they looked friendly...) And for their district activity today they played 9-square at the church gym, and later Elder Wood and another elder in his apartment (Elder Brady, I think I heard) enjoyed playing a game of Scythe, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
A final note that sometimes I have pictures to choose from, but for your viewing pleasure below, literally the only pictures I received this week. Enjoy! And here's your spiritual thought for the week: "All of the commandments help us to be more receptive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. As missionaries we often emphasize three things: keeping the sabbath, studying scriptures, and praying. Shortened to CPR for Church Pray Read, they're the most efficient way to quickly build and maintain our testimonies. Not doing CPR causes our testimonies to wither."
