Dear Family, Well, I really enjoyed our phone call last night. It is always so nice to hear from you. Reading letters is great and all, but it doesn´t quite compare to actual talking face to face... or should I say phone to phone. Jackie your recital song was magnificent. I cannot believe how much you have improved since I have left. By the time that I get back, you will be better at playing the piano than me. WOOHOOO Okay, I told you all about my deathly illness over the phone, so let’s go over a few of the highlights. Monday I got sick. Tuesday I was sick. YAY We taught one lesson on this day, and it was with a nice couple. They, Alfonzo and Senovio, accepted an invitation to be baptized this up-coming Saturday. We will see how that goes this week. Wednesday I went to the doctor, and was still sick. Actually the medicine made me feel a little worse... fancy that! Thursday I did not get better. Friday I was still sick. We also spent this whole day preparing for the baptisms of 2 "plebes". That is to say to children. Their names are Andrik and Martin. They are these great kids that we have been working with for the past three weeks. Their parents are less active members, and so we have been working an reactivating them and preparing their children for baptism. This day I also went to the Homeopathic Doctor (a.k.a. witch doctor) Saturday I felt a little bit better in the morning. We held the baptismal services, and then in the night, I began to feel sick again. Sunday we made a pie, I called you all. I did not feel extremely bad. From what the family told us, the pie turned out delicious. I would not know, seeing as how I did not have the opportunity to try it, because I did not feel good to my stomach. But it sure smelled wonderful. They did a wonderful job of finishing the pie. I was quite impressed, for it being their first time. I guess, if it is a really good desert, it doesn´t matter who makes it, because it always turns out good. I love you all. I will write in my journal. I miss you and pray for you. Stay safe. Love, Elder Johnson Sorry not much happened and this was a boring week.
