Today is the day Elder Johnson flew to Concepcion Chile
April 11, 2011
Hows it going Johnson familia!
Chile is great! the people are nice and theres dogs running everywhere! we take collectivos if we have to go somewhere out of walking distance. they are like a little <<<toyota corolla thats stick shift all the cars here are stick shift. I saw an Audi like the one in Ironman the other day. They are pretty much like America. they have a Chevrolet dealership. they have about the same cars but a little bit different shape and name. We dont really eat breakfast here or dinner. we go to a members house or menos activo miembro and they feed
us. My first day i went to the bishops house for lunch and we had like this spinach onion chicken thing cake, tomatoes lettuce. it was good. they always have postre after which is desert. at the bishops house we had flan. it has a weird texture something that our not used to. for other lunches ive had soup with like rice, potatoes,carrots and some meet, or a bean soup they all are really good. My trainer is <Elder Gil (heel) he’s from Bolivia. He speaks english pretty good. he’s sweet he’s a great teacher and ive learned alot from him. weve taught a couple of lessons each day. We have one lady committed to baptism on the 23. But they speak way fast here its like nothing youve ever heard! you know they soccer game announcers who speak fast on the radio? thats how the speak. they dont say S´s and they just speak way fast, i cant understand anything really! haha but ive gotten better. and speaking it is going good. we played futbol today at the church they have a basketball court in the back,and goals under the hoops. it was fun. They have paved roads but everythng is dusty and dirty. But im loving it! the weather is good its kind of like home. its overcast in the morning, and in the afternoon its warmer. My first area is in Curico its 5 hours north of Concepcion. i had to take a 5 hour bus ride after the plan ride from concepcion to curico. it was sweet. we got our trainers, and did our passports in Concepcion, and had lunch with all the new missionaries and their trainers.
Its great here in Chile! wouldnt trade it for anything!
Love,
Elder Johnson
