Dearest loved ones, Well, before I start with anything, I would like to ask if you all sent me a letter,... because you know what? I did not receive one. Not ONE! I am pretty sure that it is not your fault, because I usually receive a letter about my financials, but I didn´t even receive one of those. Who knows? I was pretty bummed out. Anyways, to cut to the chase,... I am a little lot a bit sad. Transfers. Elder Johnson goes to Mazatlan,... AGAIN! I am now in the area Villa Galaxia, which is the area where my district leader was when I was in Mazatlan the first time. So yeah, I have done many divisions in this area, and I know the members here surprisingly well. It is going to be a very interesting experience. I was really sad, because I had to leave the area of Infonavit C. By far, one of my most favorite areas. I love that area, I love those members, and those investigators. To top it all off, I had the coolest district in the whole Mission. We had a whole bunch of oldies. Elder Cardenas and Hna. Mendez are going to be returning to their house in two days from now. Elder Muñoz and Hna Luna have one last transfer, and then there was me and my companion Elder Toomey. He really is such a great guy for putting up with all of us oldies, and all of our teasing. Someday I will have to send some photos of all of us. We had some real district unity. I now have to focus so that this district will be just as unified and cool. It will be hard, but if I think that it is impossible, it will be. It all depends in the attitude that I have. My companion now is Elder Lazaro from Vera Cruz. It is super awesome, because he is my first Mexican companion to have almost my same build. He is skinny and tall. I think that he actually is taller than I am. Moving on. This past week was great. Elder Toomey and I had our first and last baptisms together. The Hna. Lorena and her son Gabriel got baptized this past Saturday. It really was such a wonderful event. I have such hopes for them. I sure wish to see them enter the temple within one year from now, together with the husband. It would be such a wonderful thing. Also, David and his whole family came to church this past Sunday today goodbye to me. I really was super happy, and yet super sad at the same time. I sure do hope that they keep on progressing in the Gospel. It worried me that we had three weeks inviting me, and nothing. Then, when I leave, they go all out of their way making many sacrifices to come. I sure hope that they paid attention to what they felt in the church, and that the desire is born within them that they might keep coming. It was very sad saying good bye to everyone. It would be best if I were not to dwell on it. One day I will see these my friends again. I love you all. I am so thankful for your support. I think about you often, and I do pray for you. Be safe. DDD. (Don´t do drugs) Love, Elder Johnson
