Dear Family,
How is the family? Now before you all start to think that I am apostatizing and writing on the internet on Tuesday, I´d like to say that I have special permission from the Presidente.
I am officially in Los Cabos de San Jose and life is good. You can sleep easy for the next 6 months, or for however long I am here, because this place is completely different from Sinaloa. No violence, and no killings. Pure tourists. Almost everyone knows at least a little English. (Which won´t really help me learn Spanish...) And best of all ........(building suspense)........ there is no heat! Not really anyways, because we are right on the beach, and so the breeze from the ocean really cools this place down. I think that Los Cabos and I are going to fall well together.
My last week in Los Mochis was a really sad week. We had been preparing this lady named Lupita for baptism for the whole transfer, and everything was ready for last Saturday. We arrived at Saturday, and she was there at the chapel waiting for us, ready to be baptized. She had brought her granddaughter, Danae, to be baptized too, but we couldn´t do it. We didn´t have permission from the mother. When Danae found out this, she became really depressed and began to say that she wasn´t going to be baptized ever, and the whole situation was really difficult. We finally came up with the solution that we would wait to baptize both of them together until after we received the permission.
I was also really sick this week. In fact, I think that I lost weight for the first time since I have started my mission.
I love you all so much. I hope that everything is good at home.
Love, Elder Johnson
