A fairly short update this week, since we didn't have too long to talk and I wasn't able to take notes. But the missionaries are doing well in Kern Valley. More of their appointments happened this week, without cancellations, and they feel that the family they've been teaching is really starting to absorb their messages. Elder Wood says he really believes they will decide to come to church some Sunday soon.
The elders also had a great experience when a member of the ward, who hasn't attended for a long time, saw one of their cards and decided that it was time for him to come back to church. This member, Chris, has had a hard time with his fiancee dying recently, and other things, but he felt that he needed to come, and he was there at church on Sunday. He even participated in the Sunday school lesson, so hopefully he really is ready to return!
Preparation Day was quiet since they stayed in Kern Valley instead of meeting with their district elsewhere. Elder Wood enjoyed the fact that they were able to play a few games of Clank together, which is one of his favorites. So it sounds like they enjoyed their quiet time, and they'll leave the valley tomorrow to go to Bakersfield for the day for their District Council meeting and some grocery shopping.
Only bird pictures this week, and not many of them, but at least there are a couple for you to enjoy!
