Dear Family, ¡Benjamin is going to back to Cali! Wow, I sure hope that all goes well!,... oh, and by the way, ¿who is Chelsea? Anyways, that is great that Benjamin has gotten all signed up for school and everything. I wish you well on your physical therapy things and such. That is really quite a neat profession. This week I think I am going to start running, and I hope to keep it up till the end of my mission. I have become quite flabby, you might not believe. The good thing about being tall, is that no-body notices. Well, this week was super interesting. I´ll tell you, I probably spent a good 20 hours in bus this past week. I was taking my companions and everyone, back and forth from the seminary, and then to top it all off, they expected me to make some significant progress in the work. I worked with 6 different companions during the course of the week. So, I don´t have very much time, so I´ll just tell you about a spiritual experience that I had this past Saturday. After the baptism of Yezica (or pronounced Jessica) and Antonio, Elder Toomey and I went over to this man named David’s house, and we talked with him, and his family. It was a very spiritual lesson, and at the end, we asked them if we could kneel down and end with a prayer. They accepted. And All three of them offered prayers. One right after the other. It was so sweet to see this family start making these changes in their lives. I really hope that they can keep on progressing, and that they can decide to make these covenants with God. The parents of David are Mormons, and one brother. He also has many cousins who live in Utah. I believe that his time has come to change his life, and the lives of his family. I love this work. I love you guys. Thank you. Love, Elder Johnson Sorry it is so short. Next week, we´ll do better.
