Dear Family
Everything is super great here, there is a lot of new investigators coming out the wood work, we were able to challenge one of our investigators for baptism and he has accepted! We believe he will get baptized because he believes that what we are telling him is true and he has even prayed about it and felt that he has received an answer, so we are pretty excited! We really haven´t seen a baptism in 3 months, and that is a real long time for me at least. We have been able to find new investigators, we hope that we will see some progress with them. We are still striving hard to find those who are chosen and are ready to here about the gospel. Anyways, I can´t believe the Gilbert Temple is almost done, that was super quick, it will be nice once it´s dedicated. I also can´t believe everyone else is coming close to the end of their missions! I can tell you what right now, I know for a fact that they are not ready to come back, or don´t feel ready because this is best thing that you can be doing right now. For me, I only have 9 months, but just thinking that I will be home in 15 months doesn´t make me feel good, this is the best thing I have ever done and I wouldn't take it back for anything. Yes I do write Elder Bishop all the time, we even write in Spanish to help each other learn the language better. He will be home next January, he is coming close to end his mission. We have the opportunity to attend the Temple this week, so that will nice to do, we are going Wednesday. I can´t believe the Bowden's are moving away, where are they moving to? You need to send me a picture of Brother Bowden so I can show the Elders how big he is, they want to see, they are blown away that he can bench that much. Well the rainy seasons here are starting to kick in, it´s starting to rain here and there but it should get worse soon. Well that's all I have for this week, remember God gives us weaknesses and trials for a reason, but He wants us to be happy. I love you all, till next week!
Love Elder Johnson
