Electricity > Candle Light

Family,

I´m not gonna lie, i really don´t have to much to talk about this week. the most exciting thing that happened was on monday when one of the general authority from the 70 came and talked to us for a couple of hours. the best part was that he was a gringo so i could understand all of his spanish. he talked a lot about establishing the church and how we need more priesthood holders. it was a really good meeting with a strong spirit. the other big thing that happened this week was that we got our inverser fixed so we have light all of the time. its not powerful so run the washer or the fridge, but at least we don´t have to study by candle light anymore. this sunday, we had stake conference, and our mission president gave a talk. he talked about missionary work and then had all of the missionaries stand up. of course, everyone in the building just looked at me with big eyes like i was a freak, but i´m used to it by now. i am still waiting for the time when i find a door that i can walk through without ducking, i haven´t found one yet. well, i thought the spiders we see everywhere in our house are big, but then i saw 3 huge tarrantulas last week, at least they weren´t in our house. i think i am over the spider thing too, they are just annoying.

as far as teaching goes, its the same. we teach all day long, the people love our messages, but then they don´t change because it is too hard. the lady we are teaching that has a date has been living with a guy so we talked about marriage with them. they decided to get married which we were really happy about, but then we found out she is already married to another guy. its a lot more money to get a divorce, so they just moved out and don´t bother each other. now we have to get her divorced, married to this guy she is living with, and then baptized. i´m kinda thinking that its not gonna happen but we´ll see.

other than that, i really don´t have too much more to say. i met a guy who claims to be 109 years old, and the soup i had today had chicken´s feet in it. besides that, just doing to Lord´s work everyday. anyways, have a great week.

Love, Elder Johnson
