Another two-week jump, which catches us up to this past week. There were transfers two weeks ago (during week 70 of the mission), and as expected, Elder Wood stayed in Bakersfield 2nd with a new companion. Elder Petersen ended up being transferred to Plum Canyon, the area that Elder Wood left a few months ago! Elder Wood's new companion is Elder Karren, who hails from Pleasant Grove, Utah.
Their friend Lupe is home from the hospital, which is great news! They were able to visit with her a week or so ago and share a scripture. She's doing okay healthwise, but hasn't been able to make it back to church yet. Hopefully sometime soon. Their other friend Isiah continues to meet with them and ask good questions. They've had great lessons, and are hoping he will get a chance to attend church soon, but thus far his work schedule has conflicted.
This week in general was a good one for appointments and lessons, so Elder Wood felt that they were pretty productive, even given that being a bike area slows them down a little bit since it takes longer to get everywhere. During their Preparation Day activities, they've mostly been indoors for the past few months, but this week were able to play Ultimate Frisbee outdoors. It apparently went well, although the grass was a bit wet and slippery (due to sprinklers or dew, it hasn't really rained there much).
More photos of people than of birds this week, which is nice and unusual! It helps that the Mission President and his wife post photos on a Facebook group that let us look for our elders and enjoy finding them in the group photos!
