Oh Peru, you are so dang hot, but yet you grant me blessings of baptims!
This last week we baptized brayan nieto. A young man of 16 and very strong in the church already. He also already has plans to serve a mission along with the other young men of his age! WOOO I BAPTIZED A MISSIONARY! Its pretty much one of the dreams of every missionary. And i feel so blessed to have been the one allowed to do it.
As for the weather it is very hot and its been like this for about a month and a half now. We hit 90s about everyday and we walk it every day as well. I have developed an extremely dark tan line, and i personally think its great haha. Just shows that i am out in the sun doing the work! My only worry is skin cancer, but i doubt that i will get it.
The work has been getting better. We had our struggles there for a while but things have picked up and we have more things to do during the week.
As for transfers they are coming this next week. So in my next letter you will know where it is that i am going. Hopefully out into Providence, that is where i will get all the crazy stories. But if its city, not a problem. I do like going to get mcflurrys every now and then and that is a pirk of the city. It really doesnt matter where i go, as long as there are people to baptise, i am happy.
Dont get too bumbed out mom. Febuary always is terrible, no matter where you are in the world haha. Things are always bad now, but when things turn around, it is only that much sweeter. As you could have seen from my letters of this month. Bad, to much better. Just wait it out a little longer, and then you will see the reason for all of it really soon.
Well querido family, i am having the best time of my life here and Peru, and i will be sending my photos as soon as my chip is filled. They will be coming through a cd that i will send through the mail here. I love you all very dearly, and pray for you constantly.

With love
Elder Washburn
