Here we are again! Time sure does fly when you are hard at
work! It’s all going here! It sounds like everyone is getting into the swing of
things with school sports and work! Sweet!
Well what can I say another stellar week in the small town
of San Carlos! Pure miracles! We had a great Zone Class given by the Zone
Leaders! We talked about the importance of being consecrated to our callings!
So that was great we won the pastry for the week because we had the most people
progressing in church! So that was a “sweet” victory! haha
But we worked hard this week. We had to find a lot of new
people and get some new people to church so that we can be able to see some
baptisms this month! So it was good. We taught a lot of lessons and saw some
great miracles.
On Wednesday I had a mini exchange with a sector in my
District. I had to go and do a baptismal interview for a person who is ready to
get baptized. She passed her interview but doesn’t want to get baptized till
the end of the month because she is busy these upcoming weekends with her son’s
birthday and work, and there is Stake Conference the 22nd and 23rd so we can’t
baptize then. But we had a good mini exchange. We taught some lessons and Elder
Mera who is Mexican and a Chef cooked Quesadillas! So he hooked it up! It was s
some food I hadn’t eaten for a year and a half so I savored that! But it went
good and then we switched back on Thursday and Elder Benitez and I we went to
lunch. And then we went to work so that was good!
On Thursday we had a sweet day. We went and contacted this
part that is far out and we found a mom and daughter who were way stoked to
listen to us! They accepted baptismal dates and wanted to come to church! So we
were stoked for them! We left way happy! But then they called us on Friday and
said that her husband didn’t want us to come over. So that was lame, and
yesterday on Sunday we went by to see what was going on and the husband was
drunk. And he talked about the bible for like 20 minutes and tried to explain
some stuff but he wasn’t all there so it was pretty funny. But hopefully his
heart will soften he started to listen to us for a little bit.
Friday we taught some good lessons. We went to teach Juan. An
older dude who works out in the fields. He is super humble and wants to be baptized!
And he came to church on Sunday! So we were way stoked for him. And we taught
this girl who rents a room from him. She is super nice and she accepted a
baptismal date too but she didn’t come to church so that was a little lame but
we are gonna get her animated to go the next week!
Saturday was sweet! When we did the mini exchange Elder
Benitez and Elder White found 2 investigators in our sector. They were
contacting and they knocked a door and a kid opened it and let them in, and the
mom and grandma were waiting for the Adventists to come teach and they thought
it was us! haha So we went back on Saturday and we taught them the Restoration
and they got stoked and accepted baptismal dates! And the mom Faviola and her 2
kids Francisco and Valesca came to church! So that was cool! The little boy
loves to sing. He can’t read but he watches me sing and he tries to say what I
say! haha so that is a cool family! I’m so stoked for them, pray for them!
Sunday morning we went out and did divisiones so we could look
for our investigators. I went to one part and Elder Benitez went to another.
And Marcela one of our good investigators bought a dress and everything and was
way stoked to come to church but her boyfriend’s mom drank too much and she had
to go to the hospital! So she couldn’t come to church. But we went by at night
and her testimony is so strong of the gospel. She already prayed and knows that
this is the true church! But now she went to The Andes up by Santiago to be
with her boyfriend Sebastian who is selling stuff for the Chilean Independence
Day to have some money. And it’s his birthday tomorrow. So I sent him one of my
white shirts that hasn’t been opened and Elder Benitez and I sent some ties for
him, for when he gets married and baptized! So we are way stoked for them! And I
had to give the class in Elders Quorum. It was about Faith from the Book of the
Life of President George Albert Smith! It went well. President Smith had a
tough life yet he kept it together with his huge testimony of the Gospel.
So we are stoked to get to work this week! We need to see
some baptisms soon! Thanks for the prayers and love everyone! Have a killer
week!
les quiero,
Elder Johnson
