Yes my friends! The time has arrived! It’s that time of the
week! How exciting!
Well I am just loving it down here in San Carlos Chile.
Another week of progress to say the least!
Well Tuesday was a normal day. We didn’t have District Class
because we had a conference on Wednesday. So we studied then we went out to
work. We walked out pretty far looking for some less actives but we got to the
entrance of the campo and it was an hour walk out or you had to hitch a ride so
that will be postponed till later. So we did some contacts and went to lunch.
But Wednesday was
quite the adventure. We had to get up early to shower and be able to get to the
bus on time to Talca. But in San Carlos is a little town so the buses stop real
quick so you gotta be on top of it. So we waited at the stop for like 30
minutes. And it was freezing and windy. But finally after the wait it got there
and we got on. We got a ride for about an hour then we had to get off and run
to the other side of the freeway to catch the other bus that was going to
Talca. So we got dropped off right in time. And we had to be in Talca by 9:30
so we were just barely making it. But we finally made it and we hopped off and
speed walked to get a taxi to the chapel. And luckily President and Sister
Humphrey got there a little late. So we helped them get some bags out of their
car. Conference was way cool though! We had some sweet classes given by the
assistants and President and Sister Humphrey. The Assistants talked about how
we need to memorize the lessons so that the spirit can be able to work through
us, it was way good. And President talked about the need to work with members.
Then we had lunch, then they did Birthdays! They called up all the birthdays
for September and October and November. I got a bag of this chocolate ball
candy stuff. Delicious. Then we went to the last class with Sister Humphrey!
Her’s are my favorite her testimony is so powerful! I always receive a couple
of pages of inspiration just listening to her. She got me pumped up to be a
missionary like Ammon or Nephi. So that was cool, then all of the new
missionaries and the 2 old missionaries who are leaving gave their testimonies.
So that was cool. There is also two old couple missionaries in the mission. One
is the Moras. The husband is the Branch President in Retiro a little farm town,
and his wife they are so cool! And the 1st counselor of the mission and his
wife Elder and Sister Pulsifer. He had served in this mission 43 years ago! So I’m
excited to have them! Then we got our boxes and letters and said our goodbyes
and we walked through the town of Talca to the bus terminal. It brought back
some great memories of being there about 8 months ago so that was great! It
renewed the energy. Then we took the bus home and the bus dropped us off on the
side of the rode and we walked home and got ready and we worked for an hour because
that was the time we had left in the day.
We are teaching this
girl named Talia! We had a Family Night with her and her family we watched a
movie about the Plan of Salvation and the Book of Mormon. And we talked about
it, and then we played a game. Where you put M&M’s in a bowl and you throw
dice and if you get doubles you suck the M&M’s out with a straw until someone
else rolls doubles. So they all loved it! And then we ate and we talked a
little bit. But Talia is planning to get baptized the 27thof October! So pray
for her! And we still gotta help out Maria stop smoking. So pray for her that
she can do it!
Today is a holiday so
we played some soccer with some members and youth from the ward it was way fun
and we went and ate. But I’m looking forward to this week! We got some good
work to do so we are excited!
I love you guys and I hope everybody has a stellar week!
les quiero,Elder Johnson
