DUde! you guys are going to Leo Carillo! what!!!! its a full moon right now so whenever i look at it i think of night surfing! haha thats not good! Thats great that kayla got her braces off! i remember when i got mine off it was funny! i bet you look like a princess! Hows everything else going? school work, swim practice, scouts. Felicitaciones lil sis for getting your medallion! youll remember that for the rest of your life, and youll be looking back on it for guidance and inspiration later on good job! so do you get your name on the wall now to!
You guys are lucky that its hot there. its freezing here and winter hasnt even really started yet. I can see the Andes mountains everyday, but they are way off in the distance. the are beautiful, they have like some snow on them. Our zone is in like a big valley. we have the Andes on one side way over there, and then some little mountains right next to the ocean on the other. its about a two hour bus ride to the Andes or the ocean so were right in the middle. The town im in is Curico. They have nice cars and stuff, and they have a supermarket that is walmart, but the Chilean version. its kind of like if you drove through a run down town is what it looks like. but the inside of peoples house are usually really nice, theyll have painted walls and pictures and statues. They just try to cram in as much houses as they can so they are kind of small. yesterday for lunch we had to drive out of town and go to the compo. Its just were they have all of the vineyards and other fields. it was pretty cool looking. We had papas fritas and some steak strips that h cooked it was pretty good. They dont really have any weird food here its all pretty normal. They have these things called Completos. its a bread bun with a hotdog, then they put diced tomatoes palta (avacodoa in chileean words) and some mayonnaise and mustard. the one ive had the hotdog was cold and kind of nasty but i got a little feeling that theyve got potential if they are warm.
This last week has been pretty tough. my companion is a zone leader so he has to go to interviews for baptisms once in a while or some meetings. so in the mean time we go trackting,and i cant really say anything in spanish, and they speak way fast so its hard to understand them. so i kind of just stand there and smile but ive gotten alot better at understanding and speaking. But weve got a couple of investigators, and they just havent been able to make it to church or they are never home. so its trying my patience and faith. it was tough, but like youve said we have trials and we learn from them. but i still love it! its great! but we did have this one kid come to church, we havent taught him and he showed up! his name is Sebastian! so that was a little miracle or a big miracle you could say. so well probably teach him this week.
Last week we had a capacitacion with the zone below us Talca and Talca cntro they are like a 1:15 minute bus ride away. we got taught some stuff like how to study better, and what our purpose is and how we can make this new program work in our wards. it was pretty cool! and then we had 2 big macs and fries for lunch! haha Talca the city has a McDonalds.
But everything is going great i love this work with all my heart and am excited to learn more, and be the missionary the Lord wants me to be.
I hope you guys got that package that i sent, and tell tyler to hang some of those posters up they are sweet! only if he wants.
O and we usually have a huge lunch that a member prepares and a little dinner and breakfast, so after lunch after we eat the soup, some tomatoes with oil, and then either some noodles or meat and potatoes i feel really fat! haha its crazy but its nice that they make it for us, but sometimes they are to nice if you know what im sayin!
and we dont have a washer or anything so a sister from the ward does, we take our laundry over and she washes it and we come back a little bit later so thats kind of nice haha, i know you guys are gonna make fun of me for that!
I love you guys! say your prayers and read the scriptures they are true!
P.s i hope Leo Carillo was awesome! that is one of my favorite vacations besides Baja! haha. and thanks for reminding me of it!
Love,
Elder Johnson
