Hola!

So this week we had a little bit of an adventure. This Sunday, as we were getting ready for church we realized that there were droplets of water coming from the ceiling in the bathroom. Within 20 minutes those droplets had turned into 3 steady streams of water coming from the ceiling in three different places and some droplets starting on other parts of the ceiling, And we had water coming from the roof in the kitchen and water in the living room. Soo, Me and Elder Perkins ( the zone leader and companion of Elder Rodriguez stayed behind to deal with the water problem and Elder Rodriguez and Elder Berthon went to church to find the investigators there. Soo, me and Elder Perkins dealt with the water and when the pond in the bathroom started to flow into the bedrooms we decided that we should probably see if there was someone that could help us. So we tried our neighbor upstairs but nobody answered, though we did hear a sound that was similar to a fire hose going off. So we made some phone calls to our dueño and tried to find the building president ( but he unfortunately was sleeping) sooo we cut the water for the entire building.... Later we talked with the president and everything. Now we have some insurance people that are coming and looking at the damage. Our neighbors upstairs turned out to be in vacation 8 hours away, and left a faucet on or something broke, we're not quite sure which. But that´s what happened this week that was really exciting or at least somewhat of a big event. Now half of the ceiling is yellow and some paint is missing, but it was somewhat of an adventure.

 

 

So also this week we extended a baptismal date to an Ecuadorian named Vanessa. And, she said that she would like to get baptized!! She came that Sunday to church to see how it is. And she really enjoyed it!. So she is looking at a date for the end of this month, for the 22. It´s going to be pretty exciting. Hopefully we can help her and some other people to the blessing of baptism.

Well, sounds like everyone is doing good and is enjoying their new found activities. Hopefully they can continue to enjoy the next year of school and hopefully the girls can keep up with their new found geniuses.

 

So i am doing pretty good, i think i have a sever lack of sleep though because i feel tired all the time and i am starting to feel somewhat uncomfortable in the stomach and head. Unfortunately i am also almost out of vitamins, but only send some more if you have a bunch of stuff to send, i don´t want you paying 50 dollars for just two bottles. And, the money could probably be used to pay for other things. I don´t have any allergies that i know of. I actually haven´t had any allergies for the past few years, so those don´t really worry me. As for US food, i would love a gallon of almost chemical free milk.... but, that would probably spoil in the trip, so don´t worry about that. Those peanut butters were pretty good and they funcioned well too, though next time i might send a big jar, just for the size/amount ratio, because the big jar would have a lot more peanut butter for the amount of space it takes up. Nonetheless, i thoroughly enjoyed the peanut butter cups and they are pretty fun to use too.

My clothes still fit, my jeans are the only things that don´t, and i also have some shorts that are only usable for bed now, but other than that they all still fit. I have a few new ties, Now i probably have about 15 or 20, so that´s definitely a little bit better. And yes, there is also a dry cleaner that isn´t too far away

I am also still getting along well with Elder Berthon, he is rather funny at times, it´s rather strange that in about 3 weeks i could be with someone else in a completely different place. I rather hope that it is just as good as B3. I would actually rather enjoy B3 for 4 more months, I don´t think that it would honestly be that bad.Though at the end i could probably walk our area blindfolded.

Well. that´s about all the time i have right now

hopefully you have enjoyed this amazing and wholesome letter, though i can´t make any promises in the spelling or grammar, sorry. With a native companion Spanish is starting to feel a little bit more natural than English.

I included some pictures of the fiasco that came to pass in the Bathroom.

Well, until next week,

Tell the kids that i miss them too ( and you too of course, though talking to yourself might be an activity somewhat odd, so don't say it to yourself out loud)

Ciao,

Elder Johnson
