Hey ya all!
Well time for the update! I guess everyone will be in Utah for this one!
Everyone here calls Utah La Fabrica because that’s were all of the missionaries
come from. A little Chilean fact for you!
Well
it was a stellar week as a matter of fact! We got a lot of work done! So we are
happy.
District
Class started the week off well of course! We talked about the importance of
bringing people to church and how we can do it more efficiently. So it was
cool. Everyone left stoked. So I liked that a lot! And then we went to lunch
and taught some lessons. And we went to a birthday party for a youth in our
ward. The one who lives on top of the muddy hill. We walked down the trail
without any light so it was cool!
Then
Wednesday we had interviews with President Humphrey! That was cool. We got a
ride to his house from the office Elders who live close by. It was freezing
cold in the morning. But I’ve got no complaints because at least it aint
raining! But it was good. While President did interviews the Assistants taught
about proper planning and planning with the key indicators. So it was way cool.
We put into practice what we learned this week and we are already seeing
some good results. And Sister Humphrey always has a basket with those gold
candies that grandma always has, so I destroyed like half the basket, and put
some in my pockets! They are so good! And then right after I had a mini
exchange with Elder Chagoyan! So it was cool we went to their lunch, and
then went to the house and talked for a bit and then it was time to leave. We
had a good day. We were contacting and we found a grandma and her
granddaughters. The grandma is less active and the younger granddaughter was
super excited to listen and wants to be baptized! So that got Elder Chagoyan
stoked! It was just what they needed. Elder Chagoyan is from Distrito Federal
Mexico, he is 18 and he is a stud muffin of a missionary! So we did a lot of
contacts and we taught a couple of lessons. And to end the night of course we
bought some completos to fill up the empty stomach! And then we went home and
planned for the next day. And I was dead tired that night I don’t know what
happened. Maybe it was the sugar impact from the basket of candies I killed,
haha.
Thursday was awesome as well. We had some good studies together, and we went to
work and did some contacts and found a new investigator, and put a baptismal
date with him! So it was cool. And then we went to lunch, and then we went to
our house. We had to take a bus then walk like 15 minutes in the city to get
there and it was hot. Then we switched back companions. And Elder Arancibia and
I started to work and we had a good day. We taught the 2 girls we have been
teaching they are progressing well. We shared about the Book of Mormon. It was
a powerful lesson we bore testimony of its truthfulness, and I shared a
personal story also. So that was great. And we also taught Omar our Mexican
friend! He is doing good we are trying to help him recognize an answer from
God. So we have been praying real hard for him and teaching him. So pray for
him and Jocelyn and Evelyn, the 2 of them might be baptized this weekend but
most likely the next week. So pray for them please! Your prayers work!
Friday we had a little bit of weekly planning. And we went to buy some medicine
for Elder Arancibia because he is sick. He’s been coughing a lot poor guy. But
he has been toughing it out so I admire him for that! And then we went to
lunch. We taught a couple lessons with member that day so it was sweet and
another lesson. So it was a pretty normal day. The sun was out all week. But
it’s weird because in the afternoon it’s pretty warm and then BAM! The cold
comes and freezes you! So that’s why there is sunshine in my soul, also because
we are seeing some good progress here too! Oh and we also had the ward party!
It was about Alma in the Book of Mormon. We had to answer some questions, and
they handed out prizes, and then we had some food, and then we left. And Evelyn
and Jocelyne came also so it was good! And then we went home.
Saturday was a good day. We taught a lesson to Omar, about recognizing an
answer through prayer. So it was great! And then we did some contacts and then
went to lunch! And then we went home and went out to work. We watched the
Restoration with Jocelyn and Evelyne in the house of a member so that was good.
They need to recognize their answer also. They aren’t 100% sure they need to be
baptized so we are gonna work on that this week. And we taught a couple other
lessons. And we found a lady named Patricia. She pretty much said she is
looking for our church long story short so we are way excited!
And
then my favorite day came around! Sunday! And we had Jocelyne Evelyne and Omar
in church! So we are excited for them. We had some good classes. And the last
class was together with Relief Society and Priesthood, and we talked about
Genealogy and the Family Search website! So it was cool! And then we ate lunch
with an Ecuadorian family! It was so good! They had huge corn pieces and
chicken and salad and a good salsa. It reminded me of Mexican food! And then we
went home, and then we had to bless the shop of an Ecuadorian family because
they just had opened it to the public. So that was cool. Ecuadorians have so
much faith, and are so humble they are great examples for me, I love them!!!
And
then we did some contacts the whole night pretty much all of our plans fell,
and then we went home and did our weekly planning! So that was sweet. We have
got some great ideas and plans going into this next week! So wish us luck! But
I’m loving it here! The sun is shining birds chirping no complaints. But I
heard it’s supposed to rain again. But it’s alright. And today for Pday we
played some soccer and we went to Llanqihue to eat some completos and french
fries with Elder Luna and Elder Changoyan. It was great! So its gonna be a
killer week I can already feel it! I love you guys so much, thanks for all your
prayers and love!
Elder Johnson
