Semanas 16-17

¡Hola qué tal!

It's been a wild two weeks! Last week I was travelling so I didn't get to send an email. But a TON happened over these past two, so here's a nice double-header of an email update!

The Highlights:

FIRST AND FOREMOST I was very pleased to hear that even with Russell Wilson, the Broncos still lost to the Seahawks. Dear Elder Plumb: I'm sending you an L all the way from San Vicente, Argentina

Got to go on exchanges with Elder Figueroa again which is always a W

Our Branch President needed help with auditing last week, so I audited the branch completely in Spanish; I felt pretty awesome after that

Our friend Braian told me one night that I'm getting tan in a way that definitely would've gotten him cancelled back in the States

We found a Supreme Store in the poorest neighborhood in San Vicente, don't ask me why or how it's there but somehow it is

We found the one store in San Vicente that sells peanut butter! Anyone who has served/is serving in South America knows how big of a deal that is

I recently decided to stop taking advantage of Argentina's dying economy, which means that I've been cooking a lot more! So now I have to ask a super important favor from everyone: IF YOU'VE GOT ANY GOOD RECIPES FOR QUICK MEALS YOU SHOULD SEND THEM TO ME! Thanks so much :)

Our zone went to Iguazú falls on monday! It took about 8 hours of early-morning travelling to get there, but it was one of the coolest places I've ever been! However we did get absolutely WRECKED by the rain, which made it pretty difficult to take pictures and see the falls. But still, it was really awesome to go and hopefully I'll be able to make it back pretty soon!

Doctor Strange 2 was playing on the bus ride back from Iguazú, and it was still terrible

I've hit the point where I understand just about everything other than drunk Spanish!

We had the Multi-zone conference on Friday of this week! I was really excited to finally get a pillow but unfortunately my request was denied again... so I'm still going about 10 weeks strong sleeping without a pillow...

And last but not least, we ended the week with our friend Miguel's Baptism! It was so fun to teach him and watch him grow in his understanding of the Gospel. It's moments like these that make every second of the mission worth it!

These past few weeks have been absolutely packed, but I'm looking forward to some more (comparatively) laid back weeks coming up! As always let me know how you're doing!

Cuernos Abajo,

Elder Johnson
