familia! como estan! What a
week! What a ride! Last pday in the CCM and it is muy weird.
Ok to start off Elder Macfarlane
or MacDaddy and I got switched back to the CCM haha. BUT. we got the same room
as our 1st roomates and best friends Elder Miles anElder McLain! We love those
guys! And we got moved to the 3rd floor which is way nicer! But um Pres Cox is
finally back! Boy was it nice seeing him again! He's like the greatest pump up
speaker ever. No joke. Like Elder Holland good. He's absolutely terrifying but
the most lovable guy ever. He's gonna be a general authority one day. I know
it. But Elder MacFarlane got called as a district leader and I got called as a
zone leader! So that's been fun! It's not crazy busy but I still feel
inadequate for it. Love helping people that need it though! Both Latinos and
Nortos! We also got a new teacher and I love her so much! Oh but before I go
into the awesome stuff I gotta tell this story hahahahaah
So we got the newbies Wednesday
in our room and we had this idea (this was before I got called as a ZL) well
actually Elder Miles did but we needed to have some fun that was simple and so
we decided to have a couple elders in our room talking to the newbies about how
their first day was and who they were and stuff and then during the middle of
it, Elder Miles would start acting like a monkey slowly and then we'd all start
doing it in the room and then we got sorta a lot, like 30 or 35 of other elders
to wait outside for the start and they would come in acting like monkeys
and so it sorta happened, and IT WAS CRAZY! hahahah One of the funniest things
that ever happened.. just like 50 elders in this room acting like monkeys for
the newbies. It was great. But I had no idea it was gonna be that loud and that
crazy or I don't think we would done it.. haha I laughed forever.
Ok so this is the last week!
Wow. um I'd just like to say that the gift of tongues is real. We teach lessons
every day sometimes 3 lessons to investigators and I just can't believe where
it is at right now. We could go on and on for hours in Spanish about the gospel
but we have to cut it to 20 min. The only way we can talk like that in Spanish
and remember all the vocab and tenses and everything is from the spirit. There's
no other explanation. It's amazing. That has really helped me everyday because I
get so pumped teaching a fake investigator that is our teacher and were
teaching her/him about the gospel and they are asking questions and we are
bearing witness and asking them to be baptized and change, and man my soul is
just FILLED with joy. I can't even describe it. I AM A BAPTIZING MISSIONARY. Pres
Cox gave us the greatest speech ever about that and holy smokes am I ready to
roll. I wanna get everybody in the whole world baptized so they can go to the Temple
with their family! It's all about the temple! if only people knew how amazing
the blessings and importance of the temple are! But my message this week is
simple.
el evangelio de jesucristo
es verdad. yo se que dios es real y el nos ama. el es nuestro amoroso padre
celestial. cuando nosotros creemos y tiene fae en jesucristo y su expiacion,
vida es mejor. esta es simple.
I hate writing in Spanish cause
the buttons on the keyboard are crazy but just know that although this language
is difficult, we can give lessons on any topic in preach my gospel. Because of
the gift of tongues and because of the spirit. Because of Him, I can do
anything. And because of Him, YOU can do anything. I can't wait to be teaching
in 5 days. So excited. Love you my family. And I also wanted to say how much I
love my district family. These elders are my brothers and I can't even imagine
that I'm gonna leave them in 5 days.. I wish I could describe each and every
one of them to you, but just know they are amazing.
con amor,
elder johsnon

Quote of the week from Elder
MacFarlanes cousin who is 10 and in an immersed Spanish program:
"no creo que voya sobre
vivir con estas locos personas"
I can't believe you're going to
live about/with those crazy people.
