Dear Family,
This week has been really long but great. So, since the beginning of this transfer, we (Elder Rendon and I) have been trying to find a house to rent in our area. It has been quite difficult not to mention the fact that the house that we live in right now is not even in our area. Every day we have been walking from another area to our area just so that we can begin to work. It has gotten quite tiresome, and not to mention that it doesn´t really allow us to work real effectively. We have finally found a house, bought the furniture, and have fixed up the contract. Now, the only thing left to do is wait until the owner of the house cleans it up a bit, paints it and fixes a few things and then from there we will be good to go! This whole process has really eaten into our working time this week. We talked with the Hna Cantu, and she told us that she wanted this thing done as quickly as possible, and on our own. It was a great learning experience. I felt all grown up, trying to rent a house and all. Anyways, if everything goes well, we should be moved in by the end of this week, or by the start of the next week. Yipee!
Well, if you want to know something a little sad, I did not even realize that Thanksgiving was coming up! Crazy huh? The thing is, I am sure that in one week or so, there will be some sort of national holiday (I think) but I don’t even know if they celebrate Thanksgiving here in Mexico. That is great that you guys might be able to make it up to Canada for the Holidays. I am a little jealous. Maybe I will have to celebrate it down here with Elder Rendon and our District. We have SISTERS! in our district! Woohoo, it really is fun.
Well, as for me, life is great. We have some great people who are progressing like, Elva and her daughters Yicel and Nallely, Sylvia, Anabel, and of course our good old gangster friend Mario and his parents! All of these people really have some potential, and I just keep praying that they will keep on progressing.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to serve a mission. I love the Lord and this Gospel. There ain't nothin better!
I love you all so much.
Love, Elder Johnson
