Hey family and friends!
Well this week was a great one! We were able to baptize two of Heavenly Fathers children this week. Hangysan and Miguel! It was great! Thank you for all of your prayers, I know without a doubt that they helped them to be baptized.
We are definitely seeing miracles here in Cancha Rayada. The Lord is definitely blessing us. I don’t want to leave this place it is the Promised Land! We have seen a lot of progress these last couple of weeks. We are looking forward to a couple more baptisms before the end of this month. We are teaching a couple who aren’t married but love to learn and are reading and praying and they always have questions to ask us. We are going to talk about the Plan of Salvation this week and marriage. We are really looking forward to it!
On Tuesday we did a Family Night with Hangysan and her family, and a sister in our ward. We watched the Joy to The World Christmas movie because we weren’t able to watch it before with them. And we talked about that, and The Atonement of Jesus Christ, and baptism, and talked to the parents and they gave her permission to be baptized! We could really feel the Spirit in that lesson. I know that Heavenly Father was blessing us with the words to say. And the sister that came really helped out. So that was a miracle. After 3 long months it finally happened. Heavenly Father really has a plan for everything, and I’ve come to trust it, as long as I’m dong the things He asks me I know it will always turn out for the better.
This week we had to do another mini combio because Elder Mortenson had to come here to do the interviews, so I went to San Javier. It was great. We had a meeting with the new Mission Leader at his house, and he lives out in the campo or the fields. And he has a huge backyard. And he let us pick a peach, and he gave us a huge slice of watermelon! It was an answer to my prayers! It was way good.
And Sunday we had the baptisms. That went well. There were a couple of things that really didn’t go our way before the baptisms, but it all worked out in the end.
Today for P Day we went out to San Clemente again to play soccer. A lot of guys didn’t show up so we played half field. It was fun.
And before the Zone Leaders showed up with the soccer ball I made a baseball out of some plastic beer bags, that were lying around and we played some baseball! Those Eagle Scout skills sure come in handy! haha So it was fun everyone had a good time.
Then we got a bus back into town and we all ate at a restaurant. It was good.
But everything is going good, it got cloudy all of a sudden, the weather is kind of weird. But Elder Bustamante is doing great he continues to learn and amaze me! He’s a great missionary. I hope we are able to stay one more transfer here- Well find out in 2 weeks about that!
Well have a great week everyone! Thanks for the prayers and the support it really makes a difference!
les quiero,
Elder Johnson
