This week was a good week. Everything is starting to go really well. We had a couple get married and then the wife got baptized on saturday and confirmed on sunday. It was really weird because me and my first companion visited this family and they were going through a lot of hard things and they didnt have any desires at all to do it. They were always getting in fights and they were never all there for us to teach. It was really annoying cuz we wanted to help them but they were just always angry about everything. It got to a point where we were about to just leave them and wait for them to come to us when they were ready to listen. Their daughter has a brain tumor, and so they will have to be going to buenos aires for a surgery really soon and so the last time we talked to them they were a lot more receptive, and then they told us that they have a date set to go to buenos aires for the surgery, and that they want to get married so she can be baptized before she goes. It was kind of a shock to us, but when they told us, we did what we needed to do and helped her do what she needed to do, and she was baptized this saturday, and confirmed yesterday. It helped me to know, that even when people don´t seem like they are taking what we are saying to heart, if we listen to the spirit, the point will come when they let it enter their heart.
We have another couple, who neither of them are members, and they have a lot of desires to get baptized. They receive everything that we teach without any questions at all. We are going to go with them this weekend so they can get married cuz the marriage process is a little weird here in argentina. It takes like a week or 2 here in ushuaia to get married you cant just do it in a day or 2 like in the USA. We´re going to keep working with them until they get to their date.
We didn´t have a lot of changes in our zone, just 1 elder left and one came in. The new ones name is Elder Solum and he is from Missouri, but he now lives in Fountain Hills, AZ. He´s a big sports fan, so we´ve already made plans to go watch some diamondbacks games and ASU games when we get home haha. Well thats the news from me this week, weçll have to see what the next 5 weeks and possibly my last 5 weeks from the south have to bring for me. Dont forget to read and pray every day!
Love, Elder Johnson
