Put Your Shoulder To the Wheel (and foot off the gas)


Hello one and all!
This week has been pretty crazy. Alot of ups and downs. We had a lot of great teaching appointments and a lot of great teaching appointments fall through. haha. But it's all good. As for downs, the assistants called and told us they were taking 100 miles off of our car's allotment. With seven days left! And our area is SO big we need alot more miles to get out to Pella and View. So now with less miles, our work has just become about 800 times harder. But we'll just push along. With our shoulder to the wheel. Because if we push our car it can't track miles. haha. Just kidding. A few ups this week, we have a baptism in Grouse Creek! ya! haha. We are going down again with the Zone leaders this time, teaching her ALL the lessons and doing the interview...in one day! Crazy! But it sounds pretty awesome. Another cool thing, was just yesterday, we got a referral from someone who wants to meet with us in Oakley. wow! A Non-member in Oakley.(Oakley is 90% members) Sweet! So the work here is awesome. We of course have our difficulties and road blocks, but Joseph Smith once said, "We can go out into the world, and share our message unhindered and reach everyone. And we can go into the world sharing our message with opposition and people blocking our way, and reach everyone only faster". Pretty awesome. Thank you all and I love ya tons! -Elder Woods
p.s. Sorry about the no pictures. I have a bunch but I can't send them from the Burly Library. Lame!

it must be so frustrating to have that huge area, but, oh, wait! no driving. what in the world are they supposed to do? soon they'll be able to cross country ski and get wherever they need to go. they'll just have to leave REALLY early.

I love the way Brad writes. I can almost hear him! Is it gas prices that are causing this ?

That is crazy that they cut his mileage! Soon they will be tracting by phone. I love the post title!

I'll go where you want me to go, on a go-ped, or skateboard or bike. The song did not specify.
