Its spring break here in La Union which is what they call Semana Santa...not entirely sure why...probably becuase everyone here is catholic. But anyways, all is well this week. We had a good sacrament meeting yesterday where we had the windows open because its always so hot, and then the neighbor next to the church decided he wanted to listen to the oldies. He started blaring "listen to your heart" and that song from titanic while me and my comp were passing the sacrament.lol It was definitely one of the most interesting sacrament meetings ive ever been in. but other than that not much. I had to buy a back pack because right now the one i use is really big, but all i usually carry around is my scriputres and pamflets. but with such a huge black backpack, my back gets really sweaty and hot. so we had a memeber that went to lima and there is a store out in front of the temple where he is gonna buy us backpacks that are made for missionaries for 40 soles, and they are gonna stitch our names and "piura peru mision" on it. so its definitely worth it. Dont worry about the money though. i should be able to hold out for a few more weeks. Ill have you know that when i got back the money was there...or at least 40 of it was. im not sure if i took the other 20 dollars and spent it or if i got robbed but...nonetheless it was plenty of money :)
Early in the week we were in that room that you all love so much that isnt sealed off and the sun shines in lol. and we leave the window open becuase its hot, but were in there studying and all of a sudden a bird flys in. he just chills in our room for a while and then flys out. yeah they fly in and crap all over our stuff hahahaha. its great. but i almost forgot! Before that even happened i was in our bathroom which is where the holes in the roof are, and i was brushing my teeth (like a good boy) and through that little tiny hole in the roof....a bird pooped on me....yep right on my arm....i was not very happy about that....lol but thats life. classic.
Oh yeah and one other tragic thing that i forgot to tell you all about. it happended about a month ago now but in my last area with Elder Cabrera, my dog whistle died.... :( ah it was so sad. We havent had anything to entertain us in weeks! haha I bought a new battery but i think it broke. so im just thowing it out there, its not a necessity or anything but if anyone feels the need to send me another dog whistle, you will always be loved by me. just throwing it out there. lol
But other than that not a ton. Just going to work. We found a really good family that is way interested in the church, 4 people. i really wanna baptize a whole family at the same time. well see how it goes. one of the hardest things here is that the poeple have to work all day everyday which is the case with the dad, so hopefully he will find some time to get to church.
I dont take my debit card with me anywhere though. We know how dangerous it can be so the only time we have it on us is when we go to take out money. It sucks but we are pretty darn careful. and We never buy anything with the debit card. itd be difficult enough to find a place that could accept it.lol
Ill try and bring you a pig home but...they smell reeeeealllly bad lol. and you cant even eat them because they are contaminated! they have to tie them up because theyll run away if they dont! But tell james good luck from me with his interview. ill keep him in my prayers. im sure he'll tear it up. tell him im also jealous that hes able to spend so much time in the temple! ah i wanna go so bad but not until i get back.haha ah well.
Hopefully the package will come soon but who knows. I think since you all sent it with Elder Swaseys name on it it might take a little bit longer to get from customs so well see. But im excited ;) Thanks for all the love and prayers from way up there! keep on keeping on! Mosiah 2:41
Love
Elder Woodburn
