Pretty
bummer of a week. A lot of lessons fell through and we didn't have any
money. So that's always fun. On Tuesday we just didn't have anything. The highlight of our day was when we ate with a guy in our ward named Hermano Perez. He's a short funny old guy who doesn't have any teeth. But
he's super strong in the gospel! He's a great role model and I'd like to be
like him, but keep my teeth at the same time. We will see what happens.
Wednesday was a pretty good day! We started off by going to a missionary conference in one of the stake centers and it was for all the
missionaries in the world. It was really cool, but I wanted to hear Elder Holland talk because he's the president of the missionary work, but he didn't. At the same time it was cool to think that I know missionaries all over
the world were listening to this conference at the same time!!! Later, we had
a lesson that felt like it was eight years away. But it's an older lady
and her daughter. Both are good, but I think the daughter will be
baptized for sure! Their names are Dulce and Berta if you want to add
them in your prayers! *hint* *hint*
Thursday was another day of nothing. We walked everywhere so the day took
forever and everything fell through. Our final lesson was even further than the
last one I talked about and in the middle of the forest. It was
completely dark and we used our phone light to check the house out, and
it had a chain around the door. I'm 100% positive that a witch lives
there. So we ran out of there and headed home. Very slow day.
Friday I hit my SIX month mark! Boom! What up! It's crazy to think about and
it's gone by faster than I thought it would!!! But again, as for the
work, nothing. And we finished our day off with a random dinner meeting
with a member at his house. I was grateful for the food but it was weird
because us 4 ate in a small room with dark lighting and he had his wife
shut the door. And the whole time he talked super quiet so we felt like
we needed to talk super quiet as well. I felt like I was in a movie here
the head of the mob called us in to have dinner with him. Weird stuff
man. Also Cyndi Lauper says it best when she said, "and I see you true
colors shining through". Elder Freitas, the Elder from Brazil, is a little bit more annoying
than he seemed to be at first. He's not terrible, and he's a great missionary, but sometimes I wonder whats going on upstairs if you know what I mean.
Saturday was our service and we went to help clean the church. And might I
just say, wow. It sparkled! When we started we cleaned up outside
first and some lovely person, who is a spirit brother or sister of ours, had hucked a bag of open diapers in front of the church. That was an
experience, I tell you what! Afterwards, you guessed it, all, and I mean
every single one, of our lessons fell throuh. It just went so slow this week.
but we can only press on!
It's
getting a little hotter here too, so another slow week of no lessons
and walking. I'll sweat off another 30lbs. Heaven help me! Once again, I
really am thankful for your prayers!
Stay Classy
Elder Johns
