Hello!

So this week we had some pretty fun stuff happen. It was Elder Berthon´s birthday on the first of the month, so to celebrate it Elder Rodriguez made him hunt for his toys, and smashed an egg on his head (i guess it´s something that they do in Colombia). And then Elder Perkins cooked him some brownies and that´s basically it. For his birthday he got a figurine of Woody and Jessie from Toy Story.

So also yesterday i celebrated my 8 months in the mission (and Elder Berthon too, he entered in the same day that i did). I celebrated it by remembering today and announcing it to Elder Berthon. To be honest we didn´t do anything to celebrate.

So I have a picture of Elder Berthon is in there with a cowboy hat, celebrating his birthday. Also there is Elder Rodriguez, Elder Perkins, and Elder Berthon attacking the brownie. The BBQ that we did today, and a picture of someone that you all love.

 (Can't straighten this one.  Don't know why, it's straight in my photo gallery and from the download.

Just turn your head to the side.)

(This is Maya G.  She/he is a family joke that made its way in a package to Talon.

He keeps sharing the love by sending the picture back.)

So today for p-day we went to the church and had a BBQ with a bunch of other missionaries. It wasn´t actually that exciting because it was half organized the day before, but basically we went there and ate some food and talked to some people. The meat was especially delicious.

So sorry that there are only 4 pictures there, unfortunately with my new camera the pictures take up a lot more memory so I can´t send as many.

And the picture of your favorite person in the world didn´t happen to show up well on the computer. On the camera it looks a lot better.

So that´s basically it for the week. Everyone is starting to come back, but they are also starting to work... Soo we´ll see if we can help them.

So something exciting that happened this week is that we were in a lesson with an inactive member. We were going to eat with her mother and brother, however the mother has health problems and therefore had to go to the hospital that day. Anyway, we had that appointment and during the appointment Elder Berthon was testifying and at the end of the lesson the daughter was saying that she realized how much she pain she had caused her mother ( because although her mother is less active too, she wants to do the right things and she want her children to do the right things too). The next day her mother said that the daughter wanted to go with the relief society to clean the church... Sooo it looks like she is starting to get reactivated. Its really exciting because she has basically wanted nothing to do with the church, but now it appears that she is starting to open back up. Soo hopefully we can help her.

Well, i think that´s about it, good luck with school. And keep Bremen learning and maybe he can be a child genius in a few years. Enjoy the old/new washers. Also, it appears that the ward wants a cafeteria lady out of you (just try no to get fat and grouchy please).

So until next week. It´ll come like tomorrow (the time goes by way to fast, the hours fly by like minutes, it´s rather ridiculous)

Well, hasta luego.

Elder Johnson.
