This week has been so good, but it feels like it has gone on forever! But it's always good being here in Ohio. Transfers happened last week and like I said last week my new companion is Elder Luckett. He is from Grand Junction, Colorado and has four younger sisters, been out 16 months now. He is a super funny guy so we have been having a lot of laughs. He also plays the piano and was in the marching bad in his school, so he's played a few instruments in his time. It's also been good because his first area was Tiffin so we spent quite some time talking about that area and all the people that are there. Brought back a lot of good memories, still wishing that I got to finish off there, but Medina is good.
As soon as everyone got figured out what was happening with the mission splitting, they decided they were going to change it all up. So instead of the Toledo stake going to the Cincinnati mission and Youngstown going to Pittsburgh, now the Toledo and Cleveland Stake will join with the Michigan Detorit Mission and the Akron, Kirtland, and Youngstown Stakes are going to join with the Columbus mission. Not what was expected a little while ago, but that's what it's going to be now.
We had our mission conference on Monday with Elder Snow that I mentioned last week, and it was really good. He talked about a lot of different things, and it was all really good and insightful. Also saw a lot of other missionaries that it will be the last time I see them out here, so it was kind if sad at the same time.
The good news for this last week though is that we found 3 new investigators! One of them was a referral we got a couple of weeks ago that we called and texted and knocked on her door and left a card but apparently she didn't get any of the messages, so she said she was kind of giving up on us. But we were able to catch her at home one day and we talked with her for a little bit about the Book of Mormon. Then there was a former investigator that we went to see and he is really open and wants to come to church, but we also taught his new roommate who just moved on 4 days before we went to their house. He's a younger guy that said he wants to find a church and was really open to what we said. So things got a little bit better this last week.
Life is good, random storms come out of nowhere and soak us and then disappear, but that's how Ohio is! Such a good place. Doing some service for some people, having a good time, loving life. Interviews tomorrow and exchanges, then life like normal for another week! Gonna be good and gonna be warm! That's about it for this week, talk to you next week!
Love,
Elder Woodward
