17 Oct 2012


Hellooo!
 
So this week was an average week in the office. So basically we have spent the mornings and afternoons in the office, and afterward we have had all the lessons. Also this week there was el día de la hispanidad, which basically means that everyone has a party to celebrate that they are Latin American. So we had a nice activity in the church where several people did some dances from their country, and afterwards we all ate food from the countries represented.
 
So unfortunately that is basically the most exciting thing that has happened this week.
 
Tomorrow the married couple missionaries that Elder Forsythe and I are taking over for are going to be leaving, So we´ll be driving to the airport to drop them off nice and early in the morning.
 
Well, we also don´t really have p-days anymore, usually they are spent with dealing with problems that other people have. So, from now on, i can expect to have a little less time to write each week, unfortunately...
 
The riots in Spain don´t really affect us, at all. We usually hear about them from the president or from some members or investigators. But outside of that they haven´t had any impact on us at all. I am pretty sure that they only take place in the center of Madrid, where it isn´t exactly the most efficient place for missionary work. So there shouldn´t be any problems that involve us.
 
It is pretty cool that the age limit has been changed, it´s also kind of weird at the same time. We should be getting a ton of new missionaries which will be really exciting, and also it should be really good for the mission. The only thing though, is that now I am going to feel really old compared to all the new missionaries. It will be a little weird at first in that perspective, but other than that I think that it will be really exciting. Also I need to learn how to train all these people coming in, If there are a mountain of people coming in, then there is going to be a mountain of training that is going to need to get done too.
 
Well Happy Birthday to Arya! Hopefully she enjoyed the circus, and actually i still do remember a part of the circus in Texas, and the one in Oklahoma. Hopefully she´s enjoying all her new gifts, and hopefully they can satisfy her until Christmas.
 
Well, to be honest there isn´t much to say about the fall in Spain, yet. The weather is cooler, it´s down to sweater weather in the mornings, and in the afternoons it´s just wonderful. But other than that the only thing different is that the grass is growing. The leaves are all the same color, and the is only a slightly bit more cloudy.
 
Well, to be honest that´s about all the time that I have right now, So until next week,
 
Elder Johnson
