 Well i have to apologize for the shortness of this email. I just realized that i took all the time replying to others and saying goodbye that i forgot i hadnt sent this email yet. But I will be coming home next week and then i will be able to talk to all those that want to see me. I hope to see all that want to come at my Homecoming talk on the 27th of Sept. Other than that my week was fast and i just hope that this last week will be full of miracles and happy goodbyes. 
We had our Zone conference this week with Elder Hugo E Martinez of the seventy and it was so amazing i hope to talk about it in person and tell the stories when i have more time to talk about it! Well Have a great week and Be safe and Happy!

Love 

Elder Woodruff!

Wow it finally has hit me this past week how close things are actually coming to a close. When i look at it we have a lot of investigators who are finally planning on getting married and they are coming up with dates for the end of the month and the coming months and it makes me sad because i realize i wont see them get married. but hey at least they are making the steps ha. Plus the fact that Elder Hunsaker loves to tell people how long they get to see me till i leave and to most it is like " You only get to see Elder Woodruff 2 -3 more times before he leaves" The upside is they all plan on feeding me before i leave so i am happy ha!

 This week has been really good. we have finally got some support from the members and we recieved a numorous amount of Referrals from them and the come to the lessons that are planned so it is a huge help to us. We are seeing the progress of the investigators because of it and i Know elder Hunsaker will be able to see a lot of the rewards from this final push with them. I am loving this last transfer and at times i wish i would have got two transfers with Elder Hunsaker because of how well we get a long!

 This week we have my last zone conference on friday and then a district conference on Saturday and Sunday! So you can say that this week is already almost over for us because of how busy we are going to be and next week is about the same so who knows maybe the last two weeks will actually fly by and not drag? I hope that i will just be able to hold my focus and not get lost in all the day dreams. They seem to be creeping in at night now and it is so hard to fall asleep. 

I hope all is well with you and that you have a safe week. I love you! 

Love

Elder Woodruff!

Well this week has been better toward the end of the week. We had the baptism of sister Ramchand and her son. Brother Ramchand was able to do the performance of the baptism as well which was really cool to see. The spirit was so strong and we had some what of a decent turn out of members to support them! 

The way we found sister ramchand was interesting she had been coming to church for a few weeks and then we found out that her and Bro ramchand finally got married. They had been living together for quite some time which prevented her from being baptized. But we went by a few times and she always told us she didnt want to feel rushed into it so we backed off. But when elder hunsaker came we went by and talked about prophets and she actually asked us what she needed to do to be baptized so we told her and she was baptized.

This week i dont want to focus to much on the sickness but i failed to mention that on top of the dengue fever i also had strep throat and have been on pills for that! Even though i am feeling much better this week the doctor told me there is a fine line between over doing it and not doing enough for it. She said to get some sleep and slowly work back to the 8 hours a night and to excersize but i should know the limit of my body. Other than that i am just tired and the joints are a little week but i am getting healthier.

This coming week i am hoping to get a lot more done. We really have to focus on finding new investigators because all the recent ones we have had are now members. But we have been recieving a lot of referrals lately and they are all from the members which means we will be able to use those members in the teaching process! i cant wait to see what happens.

Elder Hunsaker now knows the area well enough that he is able to lead it out and that means that he knows the people and what they need. I of course still am helping and doing the teaching with him but i am not as nervous to leave him here. I know that the area is in good hands and he will do a great job when i leave. Just a few short weeks left for me which include a zone conference with president egbert and then my exit interview and that will go by quick. I am looking forward to it and cant wait to see you. I LOVE YOU!

 Have a great week and be safe!
