Woodside Ward

Dear Family and Friends,

 

Sounds like everything is settling down back home. I'm glad all the receptions went well and that everything went nice and smooth. There isn't really too much to report this week. This following week is full of some pretty cool stuff though.

 

Pedro came to church yesterday. He showed up with a nice white shirt and tie. It'd be impossible to tell that he wasn't a member without prior knowledge. He is fitting in very well to the woodside ward. Members are really getting attatched to him and we have had multiple members share desires to come teach him with us. In fact, I believe there are going to be home teachers assigned to him within the next week. The ward is on fire right now. It is amazing to see how they are helping us out as opposed to even a transfer.

 

Everything is going in our favor. Just yesterday, a new ward mission leader was called. The previous WML was a fantastic and humble member of 5 years and he worked so hard for us. It will be sad not to be able to work as closely with him. The new ward mission leader just called is an RM of about three years. He was AP for ten months. He knows preach my gospel like the back of his hand and is already making preparations to find more people for us to teach. He is going to work wonders for Woodside. He suggested quite a few people as ward missionaries and we should be seeing them get called in the next couple weeks We missionaries are so excited!

 

Today we have our zone activity. We will be making burgers and playing minute to win it games. I'm pretty excited. Elder Heaps and I have been planning this with the district leaders for a few weeks. I think it will be really fun.

 

Well, sorry its short but I hope it was sweet :) I hope you all have a fantastic week!

 

Love, Elder Hogge
