Ok, before you flip out and go crazy, you need to brace yourselves. We just received a letter from President Glazier saying that we are allowed to skype you or call you, only for 30 min. I think we are allowed to either do it Saturday the 24th or Sunday the 25th, but we can't skype on Sunday, so pick your choice. So this week was pretty weird, we had interchanges Tuesday and that was interesting to see how other Elders teach lessons. We also had lunch with President and Sister Glazier, and that was a nice experience, at the end we all had a testimony meeting, and that was super powerful, everyone here has super strong testimonies. So I only have three more weeks of training and then me or my companion has changes in January. I feel that my Spanish is getting more comfortable, but it is still super difficult, but I always try to keep in mind that it`s not me that`s teaching, it is the spirit, and besides, I got compliments from the Bishops son who said my Spanish is way better than most who are here in El Salvador for only two months, so I'm not too worried about it. So me and my companion are doing pretty good, we still don't have any possible for baptism this month, but we are still striving to work hard with all of our investigators. So I'm reading this book that was given to us in the MTC, it is called "Our Search for Happiness" it is written by M. Russell Ballard, I was reading about when Jesus came to the earth, and one of the thing that hit me real hard and made me think is that Jesus had the power to stop all of the torment, being battered and beaten, and all the sorrow, and the list goes on; he is the son of god, he could have stop all these things in a number of ways, but he let it happen to himself so that we could receive the priceless gift of eternal life, now that is absolutely pure love, we can't and won't be able to comprehend what he did for us. Well I still haven`t received your package, but I'm pretty sure it's sitting in the office right now. Tell me how everyone is doing, and send my love to grandma and grandpa (all of them)I love you all.


Love Elder Johnson
