Just Another Week on a Spanish Keyboard...


Hey family, sorry if i haven't been responding personally to all of you, there are about 60 missionaries here and only about 15 computers so we can't go over the time too much. anyways, i had another great week like always. teaching at the university was good again, not any really good stories this time, just talked to a bunch of people, handed out a book of Mormon, and testified. I can't believe i am going to the field a week from tuesday. i am super nervous but also really excited to do the Lord's work everyday. there was one guy that we talked to at the university for about 15-20 minutes. i probably understood about a dozen words which kinda killed my confidence, but i am getting a little better. i didn't know what to say because i couldn't understand him so every time there was a little break i just testified again because that is pretty much the only thing i really know how to say in spanish.
This sunday, we watching a devotional from the mtc in Provo with president Uchdorf. it was an amazing talk. Even though all of it was really good, there was one part that was really cool. He read D&C 90:11 and told us that we, as missionaries, were fulfilling that prophecy that it talks about. read that scripture and think of missionary work when you do. he also talked about how were basically had the same responsibility as him, to be a disciple of Christ and preach the Gospel to everyone. I have heard that before but it was a little different hearing it from a member of the first Presidency. i absolutely love this work. i haven't had it too hard lately but i am sure the hard times will come, but i know the Lord will be with us.
Anyways, i hope everything is going well for everyone, keep me posted on the family. FYI, my punctuation is so bad in these emails because i am using a spanish keyboard and its a little harder to type with. Love Ya!

Love, Elder Johnson
