Well one week more one week less. i
had a nice chat with my companion this week where i basically said that i
had nothing left to try but then the prompting came to say that it
didnt really matter if WE got along but that i would love him like the
brother he is no matter how angry he makes me. . . . . that hit him
where i have been aiming all this time but finally it hit the target he
started to cry and asked me to forgive him he told me that he has been
this way since the start of his mission and that no one had ever said
that they loved him for it. this all happened thursday morning right
before we had to get on a bus and go to lima for my tour. thursday night
when i got back with the other elders who will be flying home today.
Elder Guerrero informed me that we had emergency transfers that i would
be going to sayan with a different companion and that Elder Narvaez
would be going to a different area. . . . . my prayers were answered and
i am glad that we at least finished on good terms.
i am no with Elder Villanueva he is from chile and even though he isnt a Elder Villalba he is pretty cool from what i can
tell we came back to the area saturday afternoon and went straight to
work. he has alot to learn in the week and a half that i have left. but a
good start to our companionship we had 18 people in the meeting this
week. we also organized the Relif society and Javier Rojas is our first
Ward (group) missionary leader. and i feel much better that i did about
leaving this area. but dont think i am going trunky not even close.
friday i had my last interview with president dorius
and even though it wasnt exactly a goodbye i felt sad to say it was the
last one. he really is a great man and he had defiantly taught me what
it is to be clay in the hands of the lord. i dont know if you have
noticed but i am forever different than when i came to peru and i credit
the majority of that to my dear sweet friend Jon Scott Dorius, and
obviously not forgetting Hermana Dorius too because as i am sure Brent
and Debbie can testify the wife is just as important as the president.
but i have a small complaint dad!!!!!! why are you
doing your Klondike this week and not in two weeks?!?! i am sure there
will be more snow then than there is now. even though i know the freezing
temperatures are going to knock me flat seeing that i will be leaving
100+ temperatures (and then some with Humidity) i want to sleep in a
snowcave too!! but i guess i will just have to get my self ready for the
next year but i hope you are saving a seat for me at scout camp. i still
need to swim that mile with you, but while looking please choose a lake
that isnt too cold :) i was also thinking about training for a mini
triathalon you and mom should be my training buddies how does that
sound? one thing that i keep shooting myself in the foot about is all
the bike rides i missed just spend time together is a priceless gift
that i hope to change. but now with you riding 50+ miles i am sure you
would leave me in the dust with a sore butt :) i love you all and always
remember that I am working as hard as i can
Elder Landon R. Welch
