I will first have you all know that all is well down here in Bajo Piura or
La Unión. I got the small package with the debit card in it. Thank you very
much :) took out money today for P-Day so hopefully no one stole my
number....well see. But i will say that all of the other elders loved that
little notebook more than the fact that i got my debit card.lol it was
pretty funny. Still no word on the other package though. Im assuming they
came together but...we will have to see. If i dont get it tomorrow at zone
meetings then i will have a reason to worry. Ill let you know next week. Oh
and that must be the new thing with debit cards now because this one doesnt
have the numbers that "pop" off the card like the last one? yeah well it
doesnt matter anyways lol
This week was a good week work wise. Elder Chichia is now the district
leader here of La Union because Elder Gonzalez left so hes in charge of
reporting how many lessons we teach and such. But we did a great job of
getting to work here. Had a lot better numbers that usually and felt great.
Since Elder Gonzalez left, Elder Agular got a new companion named Elder
Valladares. Hes a really cool Elder. He was born In Honduras, but moved to
the states when he was 12 and left from Wisconsin on his mission hes a
really funny guy and he and i have about the same sense of humor so we get
along. He knows both spanish and english perfectly so im a little jealous
there. Unlike Elder Chichia my companion who knows spanish a lot better
than me, but still says a lot of stuff wrong and doesnt have the vocabulary
of a natural, but hes still better than me so i cant complain. Today we
went to Piura for our P Day which is about an hour away and went to the
giant Mercado or Market which is basically what you see on Amazing Race
when you see them run through the giant markets in India and stuff. Its
awesome. I think Elder Valladares said it best when he said its basically
like a Wal Mart blew up and then everything fell back down to earth and
everyone started grabbing stuff and was like, This is mine, i will sell it.
lol They have everything you could ever need. I bought a nice Soccer Jersey
today. If you all want a soccer jersey that is ALMOST real, i can get it
for you for like 20 bucks instead of 100 lol. Let me know ;)
Last P day the mission office sent us a talk by Tad R Callister called
Misionero Consagrado (Consecrated Missionary....or something like that) and
it was really really good. He talked about how there are a lot of really
really good missionaries in every mission, but that there are only about 5
consecrated missionaries. These are the missionaries that know how to put
it all on the line and work hard. It really helped me to realize what else
i need to do. Ive come a long long way and learned tons but that doesnt
mean its time to stop right? ;) gotta keep on keeping on.
Sounds like everyone is doing great up there. Hopefully the package comes
tomorrow, or actually if it doesnt come tomorrow thats okay but just
hopefully it comes at all right? ;) haha oh and btw tell alecs mom to tell
him that im mad at him because he never wrote me back...either that or it
never got to me...which could be possible too considering that person from
the ward that was supposedly going to write me...yeah that never got here
either ;) haha but thats okay. Im not worried about getting more letters, i
just hope that people arent dissapointed cuz i never got them :s oh well.
I love you all a ton and I thank you very very much for your love and
support. Keep on keeping on up there in the US of A. I love this work and
there is nothing more true than this.
Les amo mucho. Algún día yo voy a poder hablar en Español. Pero hasta
entonces....todo esta bien ;)
Love
Elder Woodburn
