The REAL Elder Ruiz

A few posts ago, I put up a picture I thought was of Elder Ruiz with Landon and Elder Woolf. I was wrong! Thanks to Elder Woolf's mom, she helped me out and supplied a picture of the REAL Elder Ruiz.
You've got to understand, as our sons send us home their pictures, they have no way (that I know of) to put a caption WITH the picture file. Most times we are at a loss, and have to guess... What Donna did, was ZOOM in on the name badge, to scope out WHO was WHO.
That's what I was able to do with all of the pics Landon sent home from the Provo MTC. It kind of makes you feel like a sleuth :)

Recent Ramblings from Peru

Landon has been to the temple in Lima, and loved it. He particularly likes Elder Ruiz, a native Latino from Iquitos, they have become close. Landon and his companion Elder Woolf are working well together, and help to keep each other focused. I found out from Elder Woolf's letter to HIS mom, that they are teaching 3 lessons a day in Spanish, and this helps the language come along. Landon was able to meet another "Morganite" the other day. Elder Jason Johnson (Mark and Connie's son) who is also in the PLN mission was at the CCM to interpret for an elder who went to the doctor. That was a nice surprise for both of them. Landon says they will not celebrate Thanksgiving down in Peru, it will be just another day. He loves the leader of the CCM, President Crayk, and says he is an awesome guy. Landon also learned that the Peru Lima North area is the poorest in all of Peru. This will surely humble him. Landon always ends each letter with these words, "I love you both and all the family.. all is well..."
