This week has been much better. We had a lot of meetings and not a lot
of time to get the work done but i definately learned a lot. Also
coming up tomorrow we have another skype zone conference with elder
Cornish of the area presidency. he is in trinidad and will be talking
to us tomorrow. So guess what that means? No teaching district meeting
for me ha. I havent had to teach for over 2 weeks now sometimes i
forget what it is like. But next week i am expected to teach a great
lesson i guess.
  This week has also been one that really tests me on how well i can
help others solve their problems because the Six Roads Missionaries
have been getting into a lot of fights and i am trying to help them
but nothing seems to work. who knew that doing the Lords work could be
so difficult sometimes but then i just think that that is satans tool
to get us to give up and quite. But if i can help it no body will quit
this work and i just hope that we can solve the situation before it
gets that far.
The best part of my week so far has had to be talking with the christ
church sisters and seeing all the success that they have been having.
they are working so hard and the are two of the most diligent
missionaries that i know. While they were walking to church yesterday
they had a caravan following them of investigators. They had 3
investigators at church and should have had 4 but the doctor told him
he couldnt go with his bad foot. For us we had Lyn come to church and
it was great she really enjoyed it and this is the 2nd time for her.
She is getting closer and closer to knowing for herself.
  OH and the funniest story of the week is the other night we went to
bed at 12 because we were on the phone with the two elders who were
fighting and so i was dead tired. then the phone started to go off in
the morning. Thinking that it was the alarm and that it started to
ring really early i looked at the phone and it was little 8 year old
nicholai calling at 5:30 AM to tell us he was ready for church and
that he was having his grandma take him! Now at this time i was mad
cause i didnt know it was him and i wanted to know who in the right
mind would call so early. but i then realized that he was so excited
for church and that made me so happy. I wish the Gospel would have
that effect on everybody that we teach. he and his grandma are
hopefully prepairing for the 11th of april. I love how the Gospel
works and is able to change the life of others even to the point of
calling the missionaries at 5:30 just to say that.
I hope that you have a great week and please be safe. I love you so
much and Hope all the best for you. i pray everyday for you and hope
you do the same for me! Love you!
Love
Elder Woodruff
