had an awesome day and took advantage of that nice day off from the
wedding madness!!! haha I love the pics you all sent that corn in the
hole one has to be set up, i can see that goofy look on james face :)
haha I love the bacon one...makes me wish i could eat it. Im not sure
if i ever told you but one of the foods we cant eat here as
missionaries is pig. Any kind of pig, not entirely sure why...its just
a really dirty food here and the pigs arent raised right. so i really
miss my BACON!!!! ;) oh and when did hump get a robe? weirdo ;) haha
lets see what else did i notice? Mert is wacky with her fly swatters,
and if im not mistaken that picture was taken at in-n-out? if thats
the case...not cool man not cool ;) oh and mert better not be wearing
my shirt....hehe
So this last week went by really fast. I was definitely suprised. We
went to work as usual. This last tuesday we ended up fasting with Katy
Paico the 17 year old investigator that we have so that her mom would
open up a little bit more. But then our weekly appointment came around
on saturday and she didnt show up, and then sunday came around for
church and she didnt show up to that either which was the first time,
so we decided to call her up and she went on to tell us how her mom
had gotten even worse after the fast and that she wouldnt let her meet
with us or go to church. It was pretty rough for her and a weird way
to get a prayer answered but it was just another testimony to me that
its not our will, its heavely fathers will and in the end its all
going to turn out okay as long as we are doing what we need to be. I
know that soon enough she will have the chance to be baptized, its
just unfortunate that transfers are coming up next week and i might
not get to see it :( So just keep her in your prayers that she can
keep her faith because im sure its been especially difficult for her
with this being her answer, but we are going to meet with her
tommorrow hopefully so ill let you know how it goes.
So remember how my P-Blessing said that i would give a lot of
blessings of health on my mission?yeah well that has definitiely come
to pass so far. Im not sure how many exactly, i havent been counting,
but the opportunity has come up quite a bit. It has just really made
me thankful that im worthy when they ask. Because obviously its just a
suprise when they come up and say Elders, could you give me a
blessing? and we are just like...uh yeah sure haha. It has made me
promise myself that i will always be worthy and willing to give a
blessing or help someone in need. Now i understand why President
Monson said that the priesthood is an opportunity to serve.
Oh and this last weeek everyone around here has been saying "El Niño
esta por venir!!!" "the niño is coming! not sure if you all have heard
of the niño or if there is a different word for it in English, but its
a really big storm that comes every once in a while. Im not entirely
sure how it works to be honest, but all i know is that it came in 1983
and it was so bad that it didnt stop raining for a week and just about
everyones houses got flooded and destroyed. Apparently the news is all
over it and trying to predict that it will come. You all should look
it up and let me know what you can find out. As for me? im pumped! i
say bring that storm on! i need some excitment! it would defintiely
give us some good service to do afterwards haha.
Other than that all is well in the La Union, This last friday we had a
fireside with a ton of missionaries from different areas as a farewell
to presdient chipman since he is leaving in about 2 weeks now. It was
really awesome, song lots of hyms and lots of testimonies. The coolest
thing was see a lot of Elders that i havent seen in a while like Elder
Frame "draco malfoy" and Elder Cabrera. Im not sure why but seein him
just brought back tons of awesome memories from the times in Los
Angelels 2. He was a great comp and hes still doing good.
Love you all tons and i hope this week goes great! Ill keep you all in
prayers that everything goes well! (especially you mommy ;) deep
breaths deep breaths ;))
Congrats to Alli for graduating and congrats to Humper and TGB for
getting sealed in the temple for time and all eternity!
Love
Elder Woodburn
