Hello!
So this week has been relatively normal other than the fact that today i
got soaked with wine. .. Our recent convert family hadn´t yet thrown out all of
their wine there, so today we decided to get rid of it. And of course i ended up
opening three of the four bottles that exploded. Unfortunately I still smell
like alcohol, even after a shower and several hand washes. Hopefully the smell
isn´t too strong though, because otherwise the investigators that we are
visiting are going to be a little bit curious as to why a representative of God
smells like a drunk...
.... So we also had a drunk buy us some drinks the other day, it was a
little funny and at the same time a little disappointing because he is a member.
We got his number though, so hopefully we can help him later, when he isn´t
quite as incapable of feeling the Spirit.
So our investigators are doing pretty well. Martha is getting ready for her
baptism in a week and a half, though she knew that this message is true about
two weeks ago. Also, we have another date with someone named Blanca, who is the
upstairs neighbor of the family that we baptized. She has a baptismal date for
about 2 and a half weeks. Well, unfortunately we seem to be losing a lot of good
investigators. The family of six that we found now doesn´t want much. The kids
do, but the mom has gone really cold. And without the support of their mom, we
are sure that the kids are going to go inactive. So we will see what we can do
to help them... Also, lost one really good investigator to vacations, and two
more are leaving this week. Later we are going to have about 3 more leave, so
hopefully we can help them when they come back, but unfortunately they don´t
come back with the same desire to know about the gospel as they did
before.
Well, after this transfer i will have spent 5 months with Elder Wilson. It
is a rather long time to be with a companion, at least from my point of view.
But it is fine, he really helps me to change and grow. Hopefully my companion
after him will be just as good.
Soo, is still have yet to receive your package, so now i am sure that it is
sitting in the mission office, i hope that nothing needed to be
refrigerated...
I have met our president, we had interviews with him last week and we got
to know each other a little better. He seems pretty good, and he also is
changing things quite a bit. Our old president was a man of numbers, and now our
president is interested in the dedication of our hearts more than the numbers
that we get. So as long as we are working as hard as we can he is happy. Also,
he and his wife like to be in the field, so they are set apart as proselyting
missionaries as well as the mission president.
I haven´t grown a foot or two, but i definitely have grown some, because
some of the shorts that i brought are too small to wear into public now, and also
the jeans that i brought are now rather tight on the buttock. I found some other
jeans that another missionary left behind though, so I should be good for
now.
Since Breanna asked, i got her letter last
Friday. Unfortunately I couldn´t find it to bring it with me so i don´t remember
any more of her questions...Sorry.
I will look for dad´s letter. It will probably come next week, so anything
he writes will be about a week late, but it will be exciting to have something
more in the mailbox than a letter a week.
Well, I am really tired right now, I think that one of these p-days that i
am going to sleep all day, because i am rather exhausted. This morning while i
was praying i definitely didn´t quite feel completely awake..... Maybe when i get home (Massachusetts) i will sleep for a week
straight. I feel like i want to.
Well i hope the kids enjoy the new room changes, the house is going to be
really different when i get back in a little over a year and a half.
Well, i need to write to papa now, so until next week.
love,
Elder Johnson
