Elder Woodward update

Alex survived the MTC; said he loved the Spirit there and enjoyed learning how to teach as well as playing volleyball during gym time with the missionaries going to Sweden and Estonia. He said it was great to hear all the different languages in the cafeteria. Tie trading on Saturday evenings was a fun activity and he assured me he came away with most of his "good" ties. Elder Woodward arrived in the mission field on May 25th.
President and Sister Pendleton with one of their nine new missionaries!
He is currently serving in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas and his companion/trainer is from Salt Lake City. He is thrilled to be back in California and is enjoying meeting the new Ward members. Elder Allen took him tracting for the first time and Alex reports that most everybody was polite with only one door "forcefully shut" in his face. All his moving experiences and muscle came in handy when they helped an investigator move last Monday. Apparently they have a car and live in a small house behind a member's home.
He mentioned again that any and all snail mail letters or postcards would be greatly appreciated. I'll repeat his address - it comes through the mission office in Sacramento. (Antelope is a northern suburb of Sacramento).
