52 Rendezvous Ridge #5
Barbados, West Indies
Well it has been about a week since i got to barbados and it is way
nice here. I am in a major reverse culture shock and I honestly want
to go back to Guyana so bad! nothing is the same here. Even though i
can get everything i need whenever i want i dont like the feeling of
leaving my home! I miss the Kirton Family so much and when ever i
think of it i want to cry! i do like barbados but at Zone conference
this past week i was talking to Sister Mehr and she said i came from a
place where we teach the most simple lessons to a place where it is
more complicated and honestly i loved the simple lifestyle. People are
more humble and not as prideful as here in Barbados!! But for my first
week i am doing good! when i got here i found out the work wasnt being
done so its like blanking the area but elder barlow is ready to start
to work again and we are going to be exactly obedient and have great
success! He is great and our apartment is so nice nothing like im used
to and i have hot water with out bucket showers. i was so used to that
for 6 months though i miss it sometimes haaha! So this week we are
going to have a great week of hard work and get the areaa going again
so that we can reach a goal of 2 baptisms this transfer! it will be
great just take some patience! i love you all so much and i hope you
have a great week be safe and always trust in God! oh and Momma i
loved the Story of prayer make sure that you write that down so that i
can put it in my scrapbook. when i read that i started to cry because
i had an experience with prayer this week. we had set a goal to meet 3
new people to teach and we hadnt got it yet and it was last night at
7:30 so i prayed that God would lead me to a family who would accept.
and the next house i went to was a family who said we could come back!
i have found out that God does things in his time and if we ask him
sincerely and that was a great lesson! i love the Lord! i love you so
much and please be safe dont break anything like me breaking my toe on
a dang brick! I love you!!!
Love
Elder Woodruff!
