Hello famiilia y amigos. Les amo mucho. this week was great. worked my tail off here in BV. We found a bunch of people. We put baptism dates together for them. And we just worked way hard. It was a great way to finish my time here in BV Gave it my all. and I have accomplished a lot since I have been here. I decided to change the email this week to say all the things I have done since my first day here in Buenaventura.
On the Bus with Belnap was the first day. We talked for 3 straight
hours about our pasts, our futures and what we wanted to accomplish in
BV. It was great. I remember crapping bullets and going right to work.
We immediately divided the areas. Got to know the members and
Investigators. We had church in a garage the first couple weeks.

| Elder Welling's beautiful Buenaventura Baptism Day in River |
Went on a hike. ALmost got lost. Threw rocks in the water, found a
Casa Capilla. Had baptisms in a river. Taught English in a University
with a ton of Snakes! Made shirts that would fit small men or GFs. Made
some more shirts, painted a bed. Cried many times!! Tripped a lot.
Bought shoes, went to Cali in a crappy bus multiples times, had 10
baptisms in a month. Made life long and forever friends! Went on a
Brujita.
Played BBall, soccer football, caroled in a park in front of 200
people...no one listened.....lol. Sang at a Novena. And have had the
best 6 months of my life!! Inviting people to change their
lives...forever!

| Elder Welling hikes Buenaventura |
This morning the assistant to President Prince called, and said I
have a change along with 2 other elders here. I am leaving Buenaventura.
I am leaving it, and I know I gave my all. I Loved my time here!! But, I
know I will come back before this next year is over.
Best of all, we constructed the Lord's church here in this beautiful, hot, humid, humble city of Buenaventura!!
