The last week of the exchange is already here! It goes by so
fast.
But it was a great
week though! We are spending a lot of time finding people because no one is
sticking to it. So we had some good experiences with that this week.
We got into a house
with 3 college students, and we ended up talking about the Plan of Salvation
and answering one of their questions one of which was... do you guys believe in
Aliens, and believe that they can come to earth? So that was weird. And then we
found a super Evangelical lady, and a deaf older lady who couldn’t understand
us and we couldn’t understand her. But things are looking up because we made
this map with the Bishop with all of the less active families in our ward. So
we are gonna clean that list out and while we are at it we are gonna baptize
all of the incomplete families and their kids that aren’t baptized. We haven’t
really had that much success yet but we are getting started so well see how it
goes!
We are teaching an Ecuadorian
kid named Inty. He’s doing good. He really understands what we teach and wants
to find out if the Book of Mormon is true. And he lives with members so it’s
great! We just gotta get him and the family to church because they are less
active. And they sell Ecuadorian jackets and beanies and scarfs that they make.
So they have to work a lot in order to sell a lot. But we have them committed
to going this Sunday. So pray for Inty that he can become converted to the
gospel and get a strong testimony quick!
On Saturday we were
knocking doors and some drunk guys stopped us and we started talking. Everyone
gets drunk for the holidays down here. They call Easter La Semana Santa. So we
started talking and then as we were leaving one of the guys shirt said.... Strangers
have the best candy, so I said hey I like your t-shirt man, and he said what
does it say so I told him what it said in Spanish and English and then he just
starts yelling I LOVE CANDY! haha it was so funny, he was like a kind of bigger
guy too.
And for Pday today I
had to do another Chilean I D so we got that done early. We got up early and
got the papers done and photo copies, and then took it to the Government
office. And then after we went and played soccer for a little bit then we
watched Cars 2! Because we reached our baptismal goal, so that was sweet! We
watched it in Mexican Spanish not normal Spanish. That was one of the settings
on it. I liked it a lot, I’m sure it would of been better in English hearing
the normal voices but I can’t complain, I liked it! And
then we ate some Mexican food and got ripped off but it was good.
On Thursday I did a mini combio with Elder Lopez because I
had to do some baptismal interviews. It was great he’s a good missionary this
is his first exchange in the mission. We taught some lessons and I did some
interviews and then we ended the night with some churrascos and french fries! Can’t
beat that it was good.
O and our land lady
is crazy! She is kicking us out pretty much. They made like a side garage
connected to our house for their car and they have 2 lights plugged into our
house, and they had all of their power tools plugged into it so we had to pay
the electric bill. And in the morning for workouts I do jumping jacks and
jumping exercises and she came over and knocked on the door and said we can’t
do that anymore because they can hear it. But their house is like 25 yards away
from ours. So right now we are looking for a new house. And plus our house is
like a refrigerator its freezing in there and it’s still not even winter!
But that’s about it it’s
gonna be a great week. We are having some surprise activity tomorrow for
district Class, that the Zone Leaders are putting together so that’ll be sweet.
And I’m almost positive I will stay this exchange. But that’s about it for now!
It’s getting colder so the winter is near!
O and Elder Arroyo
who was in the office got sent to Talca in Maule to open a sector and now Elder
Egan is in the office so that was cool. There is gonna be a bunch of exchanges
this exchange because a bunch of people have been in their sectors for 4
combios, so it’s gonna be crazy!
I love all of you
guys a ton! Have a fantastic week!
Elder Johnson
