The missionary news for this week is good but not especially detailed. They are finding lots of people who are interested in being taught, which is great news. But nobody who has progressed especially far. They had several friends who had said they would try to come to church this week, but unfortunately none were able to make it. Elder Wood is most excited about a family with 5 or so kids. The mother is divorced but was baptized a member of the church as a child, and her boyfriend is a member of the church, so she is interested in returning and introducing her children to the gospel. Hopefully she will succeed in becoming more active!
This week has transfers coming up. As is usual, the transfers are on Thursday and they'll find out their updated assignments on Tuesday. Elder Wood expects that the three of them in his area will likely all just stay put, so there may not be much by way of transfer news or excitement. But it's never for sure until you actually see the transfer board, he says!
For Pday this week they went on another hike with Ruby the friendly dog. Elder Wood said it was good to be outdoors and enjoying the nice weather. Unlike last week, where their hike led them to some pretty meadows and views, this week it was mostly along an old fire road (I think he said?) without a real destination at the end. They didn't meet up with the rest of the district since they will be going to Bakersfield tomorrow for district council meeting (?- I've forgotten now exactly what) and can't go that far two days in a row.
This week it really was all about birds in terms of pictures. He was able to get a picture of a red-winged blackbird, which isn't one he's seen a lot of. And even his non living bird picture is of the Lego set that Grandma & Aunt Kellyn sent him for birthday which is, of course, a bird!
