Semana 20

 ¡Hola amigos y familia!


Wild week, here's the highlights:
  • Got McDonald's this week! I legitimately shed a tear of joy it was just so good. Nothing slaps harder than a Big Mac meal
  • Parted ways with Elder Packer in Posadas, in our last moments together we almost got robbed by a dude who told me a pidgeon said I needed to repent
  • Slept on the floor of a Chapel in Posadas so I could catch a bus to Resistencia at 2 am, would not recommend
  • Picked up my new companion Elder Yetter in Resistencia on Tuesday, and he's pretty dope! Speaks just about zero Spanish, but at least he's excited to be here
  • We got stuck in Posadas for about three days because there was a bus strike, so me and my brand new greenie (new missionary) got an unfortunate mini-vacation from missionary work for half of the week. I had to keep telling him "Don't worry, I promise we do more stuff than this every day"
  • We stayed with some of the Elders in Posadas while we were waiting for the bus strike to lift, and I almost drop kicked their cat when I kept waking up from it walking on me in the middle of the night
  • One of the Elders that we were staying with absolutely destroyed his ankle one day, so I got to carry him to the hospital on Thursday. Argentine hospitals are pretty fun, especially because they let the street dogs in the exam rooms😊
  • When we finally got to San Vicente on Friday, our friend Betiana told us that she wants to be baptized on the same day as her sister Yennifer! We're super excited for them!
  • I told our friend Brenda that I have a little brother named Dax who is about her age, she was super excited but when she found out he isn't blonde she was heartbroken. Sorry Dax I tried 
  • My Spanish is getting absolutely cracked😎
Probably Top 10 weirdest weeks of my mission, but it's still just a good time down here in San Vicente. Let me know how you're all doing, and thanks so much for all the support! 

Cuernos Abajo, 

Elder Johnson

  Hola amigos y familia... en Martes?!? Qué?!? I've decided that there's never actually a regular week in the mission... I can't actually get into everything that happened this week, but just know that it was wild as per usual.  Here's my highlights: Got robbed on Tuesday last week!! It was my first time getting robbed so I was a little nervous  but luckily I didn't have to worry about it too much because someone just stole my wallet out of my pocket when I was sleeping on a bus. Luckily I didn't have anything too valuable stolen, but I am missing that $50 bucks worth of Pesos right about now New youth album dropped this week and it slaps, almost makes missing the Utopia drop a little bit easier Elder Yetter had his first Argentina-rainy-day experience this week and he was not a fan. "Friday sucked" - Elder Yetter, direct quote We had a lesson this week at the Chapel with a dude named Ruben, which in theory is usually a good idea. However, bro did not ...

  Hola a todos Highlights: This week on Monday our friend Maria Hellman appeared at our ward activity and told us that she wanted to be baptized... which was super awesome until we went to her house to teach her and she said that she had decided to leave the church... skipped a few steps there but its all good  On the topic of ugly dogs our friend Sergio's mangy dog followed us for about 2 hours on Tuesday and I almost punted that thing so far On the topic of kicking animals Elder Rasmussen and I were walking home one night and a GIANT rat jumped on my foot and I kicked that thing so far you have no idea There was an absolute Monsoon in Formosa the other day, it was raining/hailing so hard that our door got knocked off the hinges I am so confused by some of the music here. There's a lot of Drug trade that goes down on the street where we live, and the dealers LOVE to sit outside and blast music all night. The confusing part is that you might think that the tough street gangs w...
