Hello everyone! Just to start off, I want to apologize for another short letter. Saturday night our leaders called and said, "President has invited all the Elders in the mission to go to the temple on monday." So of course we took taht opportunity. We had to leave at 5 in the morning and we took a 2 and a half hour bus ride to the temple. It was super great. My area is incredible! There is a subway, mcdonalds, wendy´s, burger king, and a TGI fridays within 5 blocks of my house. And a mall across the street. And to make it even better there are over 100 people in chruch every week and they all understand missionary work! This week 3 investigators went to church and they were all brought by members! They understand what they are supposed to do and they do it! We also had a great lesson with a man who has been investigating the chucrh for over 2 years now, and we commited him to be baptized last night. He will be getting baptized on the 9th of June. My companion is from El Salvador and I have been getting a lot better at my spanish very quickly. Other than that, the weather is getting cold and I´m super excited to be working here. I promise I´ll have more to write next week and I´tll be more exciting. Time has just been really short lately. I love you all though and hope you have a great week. Don´t forget to read and pray every day! Also dont forget the importance of church and how important it is to think of the savior and his sacrifcies for us as we partake of the sacrament! Love, Elder Johnson
