Mom, It's been a crazy/incredible/amazing weekend, we just got back from Bo today and there isn't much time but I gotta tell you, it was the most amazing weekend you could imagine. When the bus pulled up with all the brethren in it, we were setting up to take a picture of the missionaries, they went inside to wait till the sisters came. Well then we had to ask Elder Randall a question and he was inside the office, so me and Elder Priddis, walked up to the office door and opened it up to meet Elder Holland for the first time of my life. He sat down and made a comment about how hot it was for the missionaries outside, then he saw us and said, come shake hands elders. My heart was full speed at that point, me and my companion both just stood there not knowing what to do finally I went first and shook his hand. He stood up and put his arms around the two of us and said, "Where's home for you elders?" We told him and he made a comments about us being the Rams ha ha. Later he said that his team beat us for the championship back when he was in High School. I never did asked what high school he went to, but anyway he thanked us for everything and then in a daze we hurried back outside. We got to hear him speak to us for about 35 minutes and it was incredible!! There's so much more I want to tell you but there is literally no time. I will tell you all I promise. Everything that has gone into this was worht it, the planning, the time and effort, everything was worth it. Elder Holland is incredible, as is his wife Sister Holland. They make you feel like their very best friend even though it's the very first time you've ever met them. When he was about to say amen during the missionary conference and at the general session, my heart longed for him to stay, I dont know if I will ever get to see him again in my life at least up close like that, and it really made me sad, but it was one of the very best days of my life! Amazing. Talk to you next

week! love your son, Elder Wood
