We got to DFW and went to Pres. Sagers house. Here is where I should have asked if I could call. However, I got co-dependant because he gave us the buck up and suck it up talk pertaining to when we were in the field. He is really a nice guy. He did rodeo so that is where part of the buck up comes from, I think. At his house we had a delicious lunch with some amazing brisket. I was in heaven seeing as it was the first real food we have had in a while. Then we went to the church and learned some stuff and did interviews with Pres. Sagers. Then we went to the AP's apartment and spent the night there. Then we had more meeting where we learned about safety in cars and on bikes. Then we meet our new companions. My new companion is E To'a. He is a tongan samoan from California. He is awesome and I wish that I could tell you everything that I want to however I don't have much time. I will say that he has taught me a ton since I have been with him. He and I are opening the new area of Killeen, Texas. There are a fair amount of spanish people here and Pres. Sagers wants us to establish a branch here. When we got to our apartment there was no food, pots, pans, silverware, dishware, ect. so E. To'a and I decided to open the area with a fast. Since then we have been slowly acruing things to use and eat. The work is very exciting here. Elder To'a and I talk with everyone that we can black, white, hispanic, it doesn't matter. And it is starting to pay off as we see our teaching pool grow. I hope that it will prodice fruit because I have been told that Elder Cook is coming down here to dedicate this area for mission work.
It has been raining all morning and day here. Their drain system is terrible so the streets have a lot of water on them it is fun. I got your package that you sent. Thank you so much! I love hearing from all y'all. The spanish is coming. I gave a talk in church yesterday and many people comment on my spanish. Hopefully I will be fluent by the time that I call. And I have heard that skype is for the international elders and I will keep you updated on that as well. I don't have much time. I love you all. I am super sad that we didn't get to talk. However I realize that it has helped me focus a lot more. I know this gospel is true and this is where I am supposed to be. Talk to you soon. Have a blessed week.
Love,Elder Wood III
