Hello,

So we had a baptism on Saturday!! It was really cool, and he was also able to have a lot of his family there as well to share the special moment with him. A lot of them are also members, so they were all really excited for him. Unfortunately his daughter, who is also a member and lives in Arizona, wasn´t able to come (I think it´s because she´s pregnant), but I am sure that she is still absolutely thrilled right now.

So, we are also going to have another baptism in a little less than two weeks of his wife, and then we are going to have another one the week after that for another Spaniard that we are teaching. We also met a really cool family from Peru last night, so I am excited to be able to meet and visit with them.

So we are both staying in Vigo right now. Our district actually doesn´t have a ton of changes, it actually only has one. But the other district is having three missionaries leave, one is coming up from Madrid, and the other two are training new elders from the MTC. And we also get a companionship of Hermanas in the other district.

The zone is doing alright, apart from us, there were two other baptisms yesterday and Saturday. As of right now, we are the only ones that have more planned, but that should hopefully change pretty quick.

We have 18 missionaries in the zone right now, but we are getting another companionship of Hermanas. The zone activities last week went really well, we had the District President, and the ex-District President speak to the missionaries about the members, and we also had the AP´s and the President address us. We only announced the program because this was a zone conference, but next week we are going to have the zone meeting, and that is when we are going to be talking the entire time. It was a really good meeting, we talked a lot about faith and about the members. So I really hope that the missionaries will apply those things now in their mission work.

Well, thats´s all I have for now, I hope the festivus was a festival. Tell Breanna and Bremen happy birthday for me.

One of these day´s I´ll get off my rear and send you guys a package home,  I mostly just need a box right now.

Well, in all honesty that´s about all that I have right now, I also have to go pretty soon,

So until next week.

Elder Johnson.
