WEEK 10: Achievement Unlocked: Johnson Y Johnson

-

 Buenas tardes everyone!! 

I hope everyone had a good week this past week! This week flew by for me. This was the fasted week of my mission so far but im not complaining because I love P-day lol. 
This week I had an exchange with the other elder Johnson in our district. It was super funny to tell people we had the same name. They all thought we were brothers and kept asking if it was johnson like the shampoo company. It is indeed Johnson like the shampoo company. 
The gift of tounges is real. While on my exchange with elder Johnson, we were talking with this lady and I just started speaking spanish. I felt the spirit super strongly as I was talking and when I finished my message I couldnt even remember what I said but I know its what they needed to hear. 
I have started to play a lot of guitar and ukelele lately. The other 2 Elders in our house have some so I have been playing a lot. I have plans to drop an album on the mission so stay tuned for that lol. 
The Hermanas in our ward had 2 baptisms and it was super cool to go and watch. The spirit was super stong and I cant wait to help others feel that same spirit. 
My companion and I are dirt broke. We get X amount of dollars every 2 weeks and we spent half of that on food 2 weeks ago lol. After using the rest of our money for travels, more food, haircuts, etc. My companion has no money and I have 10 dollars left. We get more money on wednesday so please wish us luck. 
Thats about it for this week! I got a pretty sick haircut this week and you guys should go check it out in the pictures lol. 
I love you all so much! Thanks for all of the emails and support you have given me so far! 
Hasta semana 
Elder Johnson

WEEK 18: Achievement Unlocked: Happy New Year!!

 Feliz Año!!  I'm not gonna lie the New Year was CRAZY here. There were fireworks going off literally everywhere. All along the horizon and people were lighting fireworks off in front of our house so they were above us too. It was awesome.  There are these things here called munigotes and they are paper machete statues of every USA thing you could think of and at the end of the year they fill them up with dynamite and just light them off in the streets. We weren't able to watch any unfortunately because we had to be in our house at 6pm yesterday.  Last night we played 5 crowns because one of the elders in my house brought it from home and we had sparkling cider as well. It was super cool because that's what my family at home ended up doing for new years as well. It was cool to live that tradition 4000 miles away lol. We had transfers this past week and I am still in my same area in the peninsula with my Guatemalan companion AND we're finally not in a trio anymore....

Week 99: ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: BOM Miracle

  Wsg yall  First off I just wanna say that the Book of Mormon is TRUE. Like holy cow every single time I read it there is no doubt in my mind that God truly called prophets to the Americas and he called them to write their history and dealings with God  Increíble  This week we contacted a evangelist-Christian with the BOM. We asked her if her kids wanted to accompany us in the lesson but she said no because they follow her and her religion. She explained to us that she already knew Christ and that she didn't need to know more about him. We offered to give her the BOM and she said, "No but please give it to someone who has an open heart and is willing to listen to your message" So we left.  A couple minutes later a truck pulled up next to us and called us over. He explained to us that he was the son of the lady we contacted and he said, "Give me the Book, I want to read it" WHATTT milagraso.  1 Nephi 14:1-2 1 And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles ...

WEEK 29: Achievement Unlocked: The Office

  This week started off like normal. A little slow, not really teaching anybody, the usual. My comp and I started making plans on how to improve the sector and we were talking about writing a song because we got permission to play guitar throughout the week.  This week was also transfer week. My comp and I didn't think much of it because we white washed the sector, which means we both started at the same time. We hopped on a call and I heard, "Elder Johnson has transfers". WHAT. How the heck do I have transfers? I was distraught, sad, angry. I didn't want to leave the sector or live with new elders and a new companion. I also had only been in my sector for 1 transfer. I eventually said bye to all the members, and packed my bags.  Transfer day. We drove to the office and I was nervous. I didn't know where I was going or who I would be put with. The way transfers work here is that the zone leaders tell you that you have transfers, but you don't find out what you...
