Elder Travis D. Johnson: October 31, 2011

The whole zone!

Hey everybody! How have you all been!

To answer all of your guys questions, yes Chileans celebrate Halloween! They sell candy and costumes in the stores. Chile does a lot of the same stuff as The States.

We had a great week down here! It definitely is getting closer to summer! Yesterday we walked from the chapel to lunch and we were dripping sweat! It’s great! I’m finally defrosting! haha

We found some new people this week, and we did a good amount of contacts. We kept ourselves busy!

I went on a mini exchange with Elder Daines again on Thursday. Also on Thursday we had a mini conference! We thought the conference was just for our zone and the other zone in Talca but we showed up and all of the Zones on the outside were there! It was great, it’s always fun seeing old buddies. The conference was about Preach My Gospel the missionary manual. It was great the President his wife and the assistants all taught us about how it is the key to becoming great missionaries, and how we are gonna turn into a Preach My Gospel mission! It was great The Preach My Gospel book is definitely inspired and here to help us become more like our brother Jesus Christ, if you don’t have one get one!

Sunday was great we had 4 investigators in church! Yisenia came she is getting baptized this Saturday! After church she asked me what time her baptism was at! She is great! She has read more than half the Book of Mormon in about 4 weeks!

And Gulliermo and his family came! They are great we just need to teach them a little more and give them a baptismal date! But they are great! But your prayers are helping tremendously! Keep it up gracias!

Last night we did some divisions towards the end of the night. Then we came back and I called in numbers then I watched Mount of The Lord. Then I went to bed at 11:30 like usual. And I couldn’t fall asleep because I was thinking about transfers. Then at like midnight our District leader Elder Raley calls and says do you want to know combios! haha So I said of course and he said Elder Pitti is going to Chillan Nuble! That’s almost to Concepcion. Then he said you wanna know what you are doing Elder Johnson and I said tell me!!! He said you are training! I was shocked! But stoked! I’m gonna have a son! So tomorrow I go down to Concepcion early in the morning to pick up a greeny! I still think I’m green but hey it’s all about the adventure and your faith in the Lord right! So I’m excited for this opportunity to introduce a new missionary to the work! It’s gonna be great!
