Family,
It is really exciting, I'm sorry though, I have no idea what time I'm going to be leaving. The only information I have is that I have to be at Presidents house on sunday night for a farewell dinner. So, I don't know what you want to do, just make sure someone answers the phone :). I can't believe Will is leaving. That just sounds so weird, and that Ryan is coming back too. It's weirding me out. It feels like just yesterday I was walking through the security gate and had to sit there and watch you all stand there for 30 minutes! My time in Fresno went by so fast, I don't want to think about what is going to happen in Argentina.
That is so weird to that Bishop Day is no longer there! I can't see Bishop Owens. It sounds so weird!!! He is going to do awesome though. That is really good to hear that Brother Gould is back to church. I was reading in an ensign magazine and Hungary only has 5000 members and 21 wards and branches in the entire country. It's gonna be rough for Jake.
I can't believe that Braden wants to play Violin. I'm sorry. ahah. Just tell him to practice a lot cuz thats the only way that he's going to stay with it, and probably the only way that you are going to stay with it too. haha. But he'll have a lot of fun.
There isnt anything I need before I go to Argentina. I just need to get there! I'm now getting emails from my mission president and stuff. It's gonna be a long week, but I need to make sure I finish strong in fresno. We watched a video clip of the movie Miracle the other day in a meeting. It was really funny because they had to edit it a lot in order to show it to missionaries hahah but it was super inspiring. It reminded us that we are all here on the same team. We all need to work together in this. Our zone met our goal for the month of August of 7 baptisms so we all decided to raise it to 11. Which was really cool becuase our Zone leader, after we had made the goal, told us that when the stockbridge family (a family one of our companionships is teaching) when they get baptized, our number for that month will be 11. So that was super cool to see that the spirit had worked with us all to help us decide what the Stake President had received revalation on.
Right now I am just a little bit nervous, because I'm super excited to get going to Argentina, and I know that my Mexican spanish is alright, but I'm super scared to be fully immersed in spanish. Not only spanish, but spanish with a totally different accent and speed. I've heard that Argentina is one of the fastest spanish speaking countries there is. So I'm gonna have to pray for the gift of tongues a lot in this one haha. So thats pretty much it for now. I'm probably not going to be able to email next week because I'll be getting to Argentina, but obviously I'm going to call from the airport so that'll be okay. So anyway, I'm glad you all liked the things I sent home in the package. thank you for your emails and I love you lots! Can't wait to talk to you!
Love,
Elder Johnson
