Hey family and friends how is it going!
It was another great week here in Chile! We found a bunch of new investigators so that was great.
On Tuesday we had District Class. It was great we did presentations of all the new Elders. We had to say how many people were in our family, and how much time we had in the mission. And we also had to say what animal our companion would be if he was an animal. So it was the sisters turn, and one Sister named Hermana Hiel said that her companion would be some type of bird and she made a bird noise just like the bird it was pretty funny. And then it was Elder Arana and Elder Judds turn. Elder Judd is a new missionary and he said his comp was a horse because that was the only animal he knew in Spanish, it was pretty funny. Is always great to see the new missionaries come in. They have a bunch of energy to get out there and work! And our new Zone Leader is Elder Dastrup. He has a couple months left in the mission he’s great, and Elder Chilcote is still the other Zone Leader,
On Thursday we taught some lessons, and we had some time before another lesson so we did some contacts. So we walked over to a street and we started contacting and on the 4th house we contacted she let us in. We taught her about the Restoration. She said she wants to be baptized because I haven’t been baptized. So that was a cool experience. The Spirit definitely led us to that street.
We have some great investigators that we are teaching. One is 10 years old and is the daughter of less active members. She is great she loves listening to us, and reads in the pamphlets. But her parents are a little problem, whenever she gets the desires to be baptized they say think about it a little more because it’s an important decision. So we have to work with them a little more but they always love it when we come over. I think we are going to do a Family Night with them this week.
And we are teaching the mom of one of the newly baptized members. She is great. She said she wants to be baptized, and she loved the feeling she had in the church. We tried really hard getting her to church yesterday, we promised her a lot of blessings, but she didn’t show up so that kind of stunk. She is great she prayed in the last lesson, and reads in The Book of Mormon every once in a while. So we have been passing by to teach her. And we put a baptismal date with her for the 19th of February. So pray for her!!
This week we did a lot of contacting. Elder Bustamante and I are always having a good time. We work good together and want to get the job done. He’s funny I always give him a hard time. He’s a good sport he’s always smiling. And he loves learning English! He’s always asking me how to say stuff he’s a champ!
Today for P Day we played some bebe futbol at our chapel. It was fun we played for about an hour and a half. There is a couple of new Elders in our Zone. Elder Judd, he’s from Pima Arizona, and Elder Alberqueque, he’s from Peru. I had Elder Judd on my team, it was great we won a couple games. Then we went to McDonalds to eat, but I ate some empanadas from the store next door.
But it was a great week we got a lot done. It’s still hot here so that’s great! We are getting a nice tan, haha.
But thanks for everything! And thanks for your prayers! I love being here in Chile it really is the best two years!
I hope you all have a fantastic week and that you stay warm!
Les quiero mucho!
Elder Johnson
