Hey everyone.
So last week I told you today I would have a big announcement, and I certainly do have one. It is crazy awesome and might make your head explode. ready?...Coheed and Cambria are releasing their new cd on April 13th! WOAH!!! haha. So obviously that's not the real big news, but still pretty amazing right? The big news has to do with the next day. The 14th. That will be the day Elder Woods, becomes Brad Woods again. Yep, I will be released on the 14th of April. Which means I'll actually probably get home on the 15th. Still pretty crazy. (So this is what Brad wrote to me: "if you are wondering why so early, Presidently Yardley is sending quite a few people early because of school and a couple of other reasons 1. He wants to get ready for the new mission president by moving up all new leadership. That way when the new president comes in, he won't have to worry about leadership or transfers for a while or sending people home. and 2. there is a pretty big influx of missionaries during the time. We'll have over 200 if everyone stays and there's not near enough room for that many. So it's not cause I stink or anything, don't worry.") That's probably all I'll say about that for a while though. I try not to think too much about going home, but I thought you might all like that update.
So this week was pretty awesome. Wednesday we had zone conference. It was SWEET. We also had a guest visitor for Zone breakout that Elder Gebhart and I found. His name was Matt Foley, and he was a motivational speaker. He taught us all about planning so we didn't waste our time having to track out the people living in vans down by the river. haha. It was WAY funny, but we also learned. It was a good time.
Yesterday we had a small zone activity trying to make our own rootbeer. Had I known it takes a WEEK to make I never would have signed up, but hopefully it will be worth it. Unfortunately last night at around 11, we heard a large explosion in our apartment and found one of the bottles had exploded. So after an hour of cleaning, we got back to sleep. I gotta say this better be the best rootbeer ever. haha. But it was fun and we had a cool district meeting while making it so I guess it was worth it.
Today we were able to go down to Burley and go to the Distribution Center. It brought back a flood of memories of serving down there for a while. I wish Oakley wasn't so far or I would have visited there. Other than that, the work is going awesome.
We picked up some new investigators and they are REALLY progressing. It's awesome.
Well, hope you are all doing awesome.
I love ya tons!

Funny missionaries! Everything is an adventure. Buying a can of A&W for some root beer would have just been boring. The Big News is that Missionaries are Awesome!
APRIL? EXCITEMENT IS IN THE AIR!!! My Brad will be home either the 26th of March, or the
2nd of April, and Drew will be home the 5th of April!
I am cracking up at the motivational speaker and the threat of 'living in a van down by the river'!!!
so here's the thing . . .
you just never know with missionaries.
music loving, rootbeer making, coming home earlier than you expected missionaries.
they're the best!
Wow! I am very excited for you! Are you sleeping? I would be planning already.
