Hello,

 

 

So this week we had a decent week. We had quite a few people come to church this past week and we have quite a few investigators that are trying to gain a testimony about the Church and about the Book of Mormon. It is really cool to be able to see people with and without faith search for God to know if he is there and to try to follow him and his commandments. At least a few of our investigators right now should probably be getting baptized pretty soon. The wife of the man who got baptized the other week is kind of struggling right now, we haven´t been able to have face to face contact for two weeks now, and it is somewhat worrysome now. We hope that she is still doing alright and that she can still get baptized once her husband recovers and they are able to come to church. Overall this past week has been pretty cool, we are still seeing miracles and amazing changes in the people that we teach, and many times now they happen in the same lesson.

  

So that´s really cool that you found a Spanish pastry shop. One thing that I really like are napolitanos. I haven´t tried the tarta Santiago yet, but if it is what I am thinking of then it has its origins here in Galicia, from the city of Santiago. If you have ever heard of the trail or pilgrimage to Santiago, it is talking about Santiago, Galicia, Spain. It´s really famous and supossedly has the remains of the apostol Santiago. I should probably still try the tarta Santiago before I leave.

So my end date was moved (by President) to the 3rd of January, which means that I will land in the US on the 4th. He did it to allow some missionaries to be able to jump straight from the mission to college without missing any days. So that will be my returning date for now.

So I am going to jump onto the college application now, I hope to be able to finish most, if not all the rest of the essays that I need to finish.

Thanks for everything,

Elder Johnson
