Well one word to describe this week. Rough. My companion is very
self absorbed, loves to think that I can read minds and when I dont do
something as perfectly as he wants it then he sulks for a long time then
calls me to repentence. He loves to do this thing which I like to call
" I more spiritual than you time" Honestly I have no clue what is going
on half the time. The past two days we have not left the apartment for
anything but church and he said maybe 5 words to me. Then As I was
trying to plan with him, I ended up doing everything then getting down
on my knees to end the day. I waited for 2 minutes and he didnt get down
yet. Then after another minutes he started reading off scriptures to
me. After the fourth one I left. He is honestly the hardest person in
the world to figure out. He has a reputation in our mission for being
full of energy but thats because those people havent seen the real him. I
want our companionship to work, but the only things he will do is talk
to members and sit and read.
When I talked to Elder Rhodes our district leader in a private
meeting I cried for the second time on my mission. He told me that there
was a reason I was companions with him and in this area. God knew that I
could overcome these trials and be able to be successful because of it.
I also talked to our zone leader Elder Luker, who was companions with
him before. He said we will go on an exchange soon so we can talk about
it. I also talk to Elder Schofield alot who was an elder in my group to
korea to get some sanity.
My letter is really short today because I have done almost nothing
this week. But I do know that God has put me in this specific place for a
reason. From all of the companionship problems I already know how to
better function with normal companions. I know it will be hard to work
with him over the next couple of weeks and probobly next transfer but I
can do it. It may not be the way my companion likes it but I will get
missionary work done. I will not sit in the house for 5 weeks. Now is
the time that I need to step up and take control. He is going home soon
but I will not let him ruin my mission!
Love ya! sorry for such a sort of depressing letter. but not much
to say. On the bright side I saw a resturaunt with a live shark in it.
hopefully i get a picture soon. Thanks for the mail, I hope I get it
soon I could use a pick meup. Also good news the combined mission
conference we are having has a general Authority speaker so we will see
who it is....
LOVE YA!!!!!
