So I talked with my companion a little about sending pictures and it turns out that I can´t.... sorry, I guess that these computers just can´t do it. So maybe in my next area, hopefully.
Well thank you for your letters again. It´s great to hear about how you guys are doing there.
So this past week has been pretty exciting, and these upcoming weeks should be pretty good as well. We have a baptism for a 9 year old girl this Saturday, unfortunately there is a ward activity so its basically only the youth and young single adults that can make it. But its the only time that the mom can do it. Unfortunately the family is inactive right now, but hopefully this baptism will help them out.
So also, we found a less active family that is great. The mother is too old to do much on her own, but we have been visiting her and her kids, so hopefully we can help them out too. We talked about having a barbecue with them so that should be pretty fun and we should be able to get to know them much better with that. However, we know that at least some of the family has faith. The daughter was there for one of the visits and we asked her to say the closing prayer, and during the prayer she started crying, so hopefully with the spirit we can bring this family back.
Also, we have another family that we are teaching, they aren´t yet members, but they are awesome, last week the father was teaching their 5 year old daughter how to pray when it was her turn to pray. So that was pretty exciting to see. We have a baptismal date with them which was really awesome, I can´t wait to see them get baptized! It´s going to be a lot of work with helping some of the family members want to get baptized, but in the end it is going to super exciting.
So also this week, I survived on 9 euros of food for the entire week ( about $15). However, I would definitely not suggest it to anyone. All you get to eat is tomato sauce pasta, eggs, cereal, and sandwiches for the entire week. Soo this week I am definitely going to be spending a little bit more.
So today isn´t much of a p day for me and my companion, we have had an appointment at 12, and will be having some more at 5, 6, and 7. (p day is designated to end at 7). It´s not too bad, but when it starts to get hard to do the things that need to get done, i think that it is a little excessive.. However, today I think that it should be fine. We still have a little bit of time to do everything.
So I´ll look for that package, unfortunately I haven´t received a letter from papa for about 2 weeks, and the last one was at least 2 weeks old ... so it could be a little bit, but I´ll let you know when it comes. And also, for all future regular mail to me, I think it might be better to send straight to my address, because there is one elder in our piso (my previous companion) who receives letters almost every day, so his letters are getting through on time. But I don´t have the address with me right now so I´ll try to get that for you next week.
So, I finally realized that I have been missing you guys, I am really excited to see all of you on mother´s day, and it was really great to see those pictures and these letters. So thank you.
Well, I don´t have much time left, but enjoy it in the states, I can´t wait until I can walk in a real house again, pisos are definitely not even close to as enjoyable.
Pues, yo creo que eso es todo por esta semana, si tenéis algunas preguntas escribidlas. Entonces Papa dijó que mi español es bueno, pero aqui está un poco de la espñol que puedo hablar entonces vosotros pueden saber por su mismo como bueno mi español es.
Pues hasta la proxima semana,
Elder Johnson
