Elder Alec Johnson: May 11th 2015

Hands down craziest 2hours/week ever.
Got a call about an hour ago.. I'm leaving Campamento... so I'll talk about that for a sec. This week FINALLY we saw miracles and people wanting to be baptized, mainly Mar**!!! She told us she wants to be baptized and married to Al**! So it was gonna be the first fam! And we've worked and worked and prayed and fasted for her.. and now I'm leaving.. hurts a lot. Also, we've found golden investigators and this area is ready now. but here's the thing... I'm going to stinkin Guiamaca.... 20 min away....... as a ZL..... WITH MY FLIPN DAD!! ELDER BORGE!! IS THIS REAL LIFE? #davidgoestothedentist

So I basically had a ton of stuff to say but forgot it all because I cant stop thinking I'm leaving.. I thought I was staying for sure at least one more change.... I'M WITH MY DAD!!!!!! What the poooppp!! WE'RE GONNA GO CRAZY!! LIKE IT'S GONNA BE SOOO AWESOME! but still. I'm gonna cry leaving Campa. Although we didn't baptize as a companionship, I love this place because I learned to really REALLY dig deep. It was a hard people to love but now that I love em so much, it's even harder to leave. But the good thing is we'll be here every week for district mtgs and intercambios so I'll be able to work here still! But ya.. today is gonna be crazy. and I'm sick. haha. I'm always sick when we have changes. But we had a reunion with Pres Fortuna with the leaders and BOOM SHAKKA LAKA. Let me just share what the def of faith is. ¨la fe es la dedicacion y determinacion a CONVINCER el Senor que quiere exito.¨or faith is the dedication and determination to CONVINCE the Lord you want success!!¨ have you ever thought about that? CONVINCING the Lord? I love that. and we convince the Lord when we are exactly obedient and put our faith in God. As well, wanted to thank Skyler for the talk he gave me.. we´re gonna shock the world in Guiamaca!! I'm sick, I'm pumped, I'm tired, I'm nervous, I'm excited, and I'm ready to roll babayyy.

Also BEST MOTHERS DAY EVERRRRRRRRR!! MY FAM IS DA BOMB. I miss them a lot, but I'm happy where I am. :) SO HAPPY. Love this work.

This week I'm thankful for me fam, Mother's Day, greatest pueblo ever, new changes, prayers, having money, my district, my fam here in Campa, the Lord, my ukele, letters, pics, crazy things that happen only in the mission hahah, MY LIFE.
