Was I supposed to know I was in a blog? I hope I didn’t write anything super embarrassing yet.
Ok, there was one more
transfer. Here's the scoop. I am officially in the different area
in my ward with Elder Paredes, who is from Trujillo. [See photo.] He has one transfer
left after these next two weeks, so I will be his last companion. In
fact, he'll be going home the same time as President Dorius. (My new
mission president will be President Archibald. All I know about him is
that he's from Arkansas and has ten kids.) So yeah. But for what it’s
worth, neither President Dorius nor Elder Paredes act trunky.
My side of the Prolima
ward is massive. I'll learn directions soon enough.
That was the strangest
thing meeting Matt Kelly yesterday. [See photo. Matt Kelly is from Sparks, and
he was visiting his wife's family in Lima. That's his mother-in-law, Gladys.] It was weird enough meeting a
white person, but I was definitely weirded out when he asked me, "Are you
Doctor Johnson's son?" Yup, his father-in-law lives in the ward and
my old area. Since you already got the picture, I suppose I don’t have to
tell you that I’ve lost about 40 kilos in my face, but essentially nothing from
the rest of my body. Or at least, that’s what I think sometimes.
I’m doing great.
It was hard to leave my old area right when we got Anthony in our old
area, who was just so ready to go, but we are finding some good people here.
This lady Margarita came with her husband and kids to church a couple of
weeks ago and essentially said she has relatives in this church and needs this
for her family too. Well, ok. I guess we can talk. Unfortunately, she’s on a trip right now, so
we have been trying to find others as well. We dedicated our fast
yesterday to finding more people in this new area for us. Right as we
were walking home, a young man named Daniel stopped us in the street and told
us how he has been wanting to learn more from the missionaries for quite some
time. That made the day all worth it.
Don’t worry about me.
I’m having the time of my life.
Elder Johnson
