April 23, 2012 - Chilean Pizza and Polgas!


Hey family! How goes it! 
  Sounds like Leo Carrillo was an epic trip like always! Tons of good memories there!
  We had an epic week also! We have found a bunch of great people!
  We found one lady who is from Washington. She is here teaching English. We found her one day contacting these apartments. It was weird because she opened the door and did the Chilean kiss thing so that caught us by surprise, and then she started talking in English, so I was like whoa whoa whoa. I started trying to spit out some English stuff but just made myself look like a goof. So finally we made another appointment to go back. And we went back and taught the Restoration, and found out that her boyfriend is a less active member, and that they’re getting married next month! So it is great! They are great we just got to get her to read and pray more. But she grew up going to church dances with her friends, and her grandpa is a member and her ancestors are pioneers! They are awesome! Yesterday we shared about the Atonement and it went quite well. So pray for them her name is Jessica and her fiancée is named Jacob!
  And we also found another family. The mom and the dad are both Carabineros, or the Chilean Police so they are sweet and they have little kids.
  And we had a sweet week with Ines. She is an Evangelical, and really active in that church. Elder Robinette and Elder Ellsworth were able to get into their house on a mini exchange and they gave her husband a blessing. And she is reading in the Book of Mormon and praying. And on Sunday with a little  persistence she came to sacrament! So it was sweet! But then one of the sisters took her home after sacrament (whole other story) So I was a little mad because she was gonna stay for the whole church! But o well I hope it goes better the next week!
  And we are teaching Carmen and her family. They are great! The live on top of this hill in the middle of two hills. They are great they like listening to us, but they always travel outside of town to visit family on the weekend, so pray for them that they can find it in themselves to make it to church!
  And Elder Arancibia is great. He’s from La Serena Chile. He’s funny, he’s always eating something. We work great together, and we have seen a bunch of great things happen and it’s only the start of the combio. He’s here for the right reasons and an example for me!
  And we are still on the hunt for a house. We bought a newspaper that says all of the houses and apartments that are for sell, but everything costs a lot here. So hopefully we find a new one sooner than later.
 I’ve been doing some jump roping in the morning, and it’s sweet! It turns you into a stud! O and Elder Rancibia had his birthday this week also. So we bought some delivery pizza! It was great!
 And I got my boxes! They are sweet! Thanks everybody who wrote a letter! I love you all! Those letters keep me animated out here!
This week a 70 is coming to the mission! So we gotta get things ready for that, because they use our chapel to do the conferences in. So it’s gonna be sweet! He’s coming to check up on how we are doing with becoming a Preach My Gospel mission! O and something awesome is happening next month!!!!!!! They are breaking the ground for the temple here! The site is like 20 minutes from our house! SO I hope that we can sing or something for it!!!! So pray for us!!
 We have been waiting for that for like 2 years! So maybe I can see some parts of it being built before I leave!
 Well I love you guys a bunch! Have a stellar week!
Stay stoked!
   Elder Johnson
