July 23, 2012
Well, I love you all so much. I am so glad that you have allowed me this opportunity to serve. I know this church is true. I know the Gospel is perfect. This fact has been witnessed unto me more and more as I have come to understand and love the Gospel. There really is such a peace and calm that comes from knowing that God exists. That He is my father, and that He loves me. I have come to know very plainly how much patience He has for His children, and that very much includes me. I love this great time that I have to come to more fully know the Saviors and His role in our salvation. I love him.
I am sure that you have noticed something a little bit different about this letter. What happened, is that I realized that I have written just about every letter in the same format. So I decided to change things up a little bit.
Here I am with Elder Mirando (Ciudad de Mèxico, Mèxico), Elder Huntington (Littleton, Colorado), and Elder Toomey (Misiòn Viejo, California). So yeah, there are 4 of us and 2 beds in our house. Do you know what that means? Me and my companion will be sleeping on the floor for the next 4 days!!!!!!! yay. Oh, well, what can I say. Oh, and the reason why they are here, is because this week there is going to be another Seminary. This one is for all of the people who didn´t go to the first one. I will not be going. Instead I will stay and work with Elder Gonzalez (Columbia) for the whole week. We will be covering the two areas. Mine, which is Infonavit C, and his, which is Humaya.
Some of the great experiences that we have had over the course of this past week would be; the rain, the bus, the church, divisions! Anyways, we had a fun time this week. We found a part-member family by chance the other day. Elder Toomey and I were looking for a family that had come to the church. We found their house but there was not anybody home. So we decided that we were going to knock on the door next to the house. A lady answered, named Blanca. After coming to know her a little bit, she made the comment to us that her husband is a member, less-active. What a coincidence, because they do not come on the lists. So we began checking upon her, and she was super receptive to our message. She also told us that she almost never answered the door to strangers, while her husband was sleeping... coincidence? I think NOT! Anyways, also, we are in the process of helping a brother re-activate himself in the church. To the end that he might baptize his wife and oldest son. He has some things that he needs to change in his life, but we are really excited for him.
The Stake President lent us his work van to bring members and investigators to church! It is a big van that can fit like 18 poeple when we all cram in like shrimps! That is really great, because there are many people who have become inactive because you have to take 2 buses to get to church. We are super excited to start to take advantage of this blessing.
Thank you so much for your letter. I really enjoyed reading it. I cannot believe how fast the time flies by. Next month Jackie will be entering Jr. High. She is really going to enjoy that. I will complete 1 1/2 years this week. wow. it goes by too fast. This week was good. The weather is okay. It is not that hot or cold.
Dear my Beloved Family
Love Elder Johnson
