July 9, 2012 - The Good Life in the Mansion!




Ya well it’s that time of the month! Exchanges! And I’m staying here in good ol Universitario! So it’s gonna be sweet! Livin it up none the less. One more exchange in the mansion so no complaints! Yayyay! So that’s cool Elder Arancibia and I are staying together! So we are stoked, we know the sector well together and things are going good!
 We started out with a stellarific District Meeting on Tuesday. The Zone Leaders talked about what they learned in the Zone Leader council. It was sweet they talked about how we need to teach simply and by the spirit, and how we can’t ever have excuses! And then we did some practices, so it was way cool! That day we taught a bunch of lessons and did some good contacts.
  Then Wednesday came we did some good studies in the morning, and then we left to go out and work, and it started raining. We taught a less active guy, and then went back home to eat lunch, and then after we had to switch with the Zone Leaders because they had to interview the family that got baptized Sunday! So I went to Laguna Redonda with Elder Wade and we had a killer day. We taught a bunch of great lessons, I learned a bunch from him he is a great missionary. Then since it was 4th of July we celebrated it by eating a pizza from Walmart! It was delicious. Then in the morning we had some sweet studies, and we did a bunch of contacts and taught a couple of lessons. So it was all time. Then after lunch in the house again in Laguna Redonda we switched back comps. And we had a killer day Elder Rancibia and I. We taught a bunch of lessons. We found a guy who is super Evangelical but loved what we taught, and we taught the Restoration. so it was cool, and we stopped by the family we baptized to visit and teach them real quick. So Thursday was a sweet day.
  Then good ol Friday rolled around and we did some weekly planning. We made some sweet plans for this week. And we had a sweet talk. Then we went to lunch, and then we got driven over to the family that got baptized and we started a fast with them. And after we did that we went to the office to do another mini exchange with the assistants. I worked with Elder Weston. He’s great he’s from La Cañada! So it was cool to work with him. We taught the super Evangelical guy about the Restoration and he understood it a little more but didn’t accept a baptismal date. Then we stopped by the mission leader’s house to plan the baptism but he was sick so we gave him a blessing, and then Elder Weston had to do an interview for the Zone Leaders so we went and walked over there. But that was the first time that the Assistants had gone on a mini exchange with someone in this Zone. Because they usually only do mini exchanges with the Zone Leaders throughout the mission. So it was way cool. Then we switched back at night.
  Then Saturday came and we did some good studies in the morning, and then we went to the chapel to clean and fill the baptismal font. And like always something didn’t go right. The heaters for the water didn’t work so we had to fix that. Then we went to the Verdugo family to eat lunch with them and we ended the fast together it was way cool. We had a soup that she made from a chicken that she grew in her backyard! So it was way delicious. And then we had to go to the house and change and get ready for the baptism, and we got to the church. And the service ended up starting way late. But it went good! We took some great pictures, and all 3 got baptized! So it was way special. It truly was a miracle worked by the Lord to see that family arrive to that moment in their life.
  And then Sunday we confirmed them! And we did a family night for them! I made some chocolate chip cookies American style to share with them! So it was cool they were all stoked. We shared a message about the Holy Ghost, and played a game and ate sopaipillas and cookies and hot chocolate! And took a bunch of pictures! It was way cool!
   So it’s going great here. I’m loving it! We are looking to baptize a couple people in the next coming months so it’s gonna be epic! And The weather has been great it didn’t really rain at all this week and we are supposed to be in the dead of winter! So it’s cool. So have a great week and make it stellar! haha
les quiero,  
 Elder Johnson
