It's almost my birthday!




Hola familia mia!

It was a good week here in Catacaos. Elder Garcia and i were able to
re focus ourselves and get back to work knocking  on doors and being more
diligent. We have a few investigators now that look like they will
progress towards baptism but we will have to help them overcome a few
obstacles that are in their way . We are gonna need a lot of help but
i have no doubt that it can be done.

So a funny story from this week. We were teaching this family about
the word of wisdom and we went around the table asking if they had a
problem with any of the things and the parents said that they drink (
which is normal here, everyone does) but then we get to the 11 year
old son and we ask him if he smokes?" no." Drugs? "no". drinks? "only a
little bit". We were just like what?!    The best part was that his dad
said, "only sometimes, only when hes hurt and drinks for the pain or
when hes thirsty and there isnt any water around" hahahaha that last
one was my favorite, "only when hes thirsty". classic. I love Piura
Peru!!!! :D

So one year coming this week! Pretty cool. I think im gonna try and
burn a shirt for the one year mark considering i forgot to burn a tie
for the 6 month mark haha. Its definitely gonna be a missionary mall
shirt cuz i dont like them as much as the stafford ones haha. only
problem is that i have exactly the perfect amount of shirts, so im
gonna have to go shopping for another one afterwards ;)

Somebody eat a hamburger for me on Friday ;)

Love you all tons!

Love Elder Woodburn
