Serving in Cedar City, UT
Scott has been assigned to serve in Cedar City, UT. Cedar City is my birthplace, although I do not remember living there. It has a population of approx. 20, 000. It is home to Southern Utah University.
Scott's companion is Elder Blackmer. Elder Blackmer has been serving for 23 months, is from Oregon. He and Scott are both new to the area.
If you would like to mail a letter or a package the address below is good for at least 5 more weeks.

Scott arrived in St. George
Scott safely arrived at the Mission Home in St. George last Wednesday, Sept. 29. We had the pleasure of receiving a phone call early that morning from him just before he boarded the airplane for St. George. It was very good to hear his voice.
We received a letter from the mission president yesterday. It included a short note from Scott and a photo of him with President and Sister Leonard. I have had technical difficulties getting that photo and the map of the mission boundaries to upload. Will work that out this week.
From here forward I will give a weekly commentary and add excepts from his letters home to make it more user friendly to all of you reading the blog, without you having to read through all the correspondence.

Letters home part 2 October 4
yes conference was great!
by the way I'm overtime! (shhhh...)
anyways I hope buddy is feeling better and cali isn't running off anymore. she better be there when I get back!
I hope that manda has a great time at homecoming! have her tell me how things go with MVP poe man.
I'm sorry I'm not there to help with the room. maybe it'll be done when I get home!
so we're teaching lots of interesting people. it's odd to see the... almost misdirection that are in peoples lives without the gospel. by the end of each day I am missing the feeling of the spirit in homes. It is so enjoyable to be able to walk into a member's home and feel the spirit so strongly. it has given me a new appreciation for the comfort and peace that the spirit brings. also it reminds me how the lord said that the gospel will bring us the greatest peace in this life.
I have to go now though. I'll tell more stories next week.
I love you All!
Love,
Elder Scott Gregory Wood.

Letters home October 4
hey!
I'm sorry I don't have much time today... lots of emails to write. I actually flew to st george. and yeah we left at 4am. I'm serving in cedar city. it's nice out here but dry. it rained today though... that was nice.
that stinks about buddy. is he any better now? I hope it's not broken. the address here is 679 S sunset dr., cedar city, UT 84720. anyone who wants to send packaged or snail mail is welcome.
that's funny that the weather is so warm! usually it's like 40 degrees at night by this time of the year. I'm glad they put roman in. he will be a good teacher. hey does anyone know if I have a plaque?
that's awesome that Jason bore his testimony. I hope things are going better for him. I will write him soon. I left the address at lee's though.
General conference was great! I miss cinnamon roles!
tell dad thanks for having that done and I'm sorry I was lazy before I left. if he sends me the bill I will try and cover some of it.
I hope things go well for you mom! hopefully things will work out for the best and if you get that job you will really enjoy it! I hope so.
oh don't worry, I am sending some funny stuff home on a tape soon. remember you need to get a player that can play a mini cassette at 1.2 cm/s!
I love you all!
