It was Elder Johnson's birthday this week.

A family in Vigo kindly provided him with a birthday cake!

Thank you, Carmen!

Hello- 

So this week was pretty cool, we had the baptism of C, and today for p-day we went to a place called A Guardia, which is on the very tip of Galicia, right on the Atlantic Coast, and also right across the river from Portugal. It was really cool, there are some ruins from an ancient Celtic city there and we also ate with the branch president that lives there as well. The ruins are on a mountain, so we also went to the top of the mountain, which had a fabulous view of everything around it. It was really cool, and surprisingly close by, I actually thought that it would have been farther away.

(Thank you Elder D for the picture.)

I did get all of your cards, during 3 different days, and then Breanna´s card got to me today. But it was cool, thank you. I have not received the package yet.

You have my flight itinerary, right?   In the newsletter they said that there are some parents who haven´t gotten their itineraries yet, so they asked us all to make sure, and then I just wanted to see if I was going to end up on the plane by myself since everyone else will probably be going to Atlanta and then to Utah.  (*Note from Mom: I hadn't received my itinerary, so I contacted the missionary department myself.  I couldn't wait to find out!!)

We will Skype on Christmas - probably at 5:00ish my time, so about 11:00ish your time...

Well, I honestly find myself with few words today, I don´t know of what else to say right now. This week we are going to spend a lot of time looking and finding new people to teach, quite a few of those that we are currently teaching are going to be gone for the upcoming holidays.

I am looking forward to some good upcoming weeks.

Until next time,

Elder Johnson
