Semana 21

 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 stop talking for about 2 hours, so we eventually had to stand him up and walk him out of the church. I got a nice talking-to from my Zone Leaders for that one which was super fun, and we found out yesterday that he didn't even read the copy of the Book of Mormon we gave him. Major L but hopefully he reads it sometime soon
  • Betiana and Yenifer were Baptized on Sunday! It was such an amazing experience to finally help them take such a big step in their lives. They about gave me a heart attack when they showed up 20 minutes late to sacrament meeting, but they got baptized in the end so we're all good
  • I had to travel to Posadas on Sunday night to register for Argentine Citizenship, so I've pretty much spent the past two days sitting on buses and getting yelled at in Castellano for being an American. But I did get to stay in a hotel one night and we got to go to McDonalds TWICE so that was a W
  • Last night heading back from Posadas our 5 hour bus ride got extended to 8 when our bus broke down. Two times. Elder Yetter was not too pleased to be sitting on the side of the highway in the middle of Misiones for 3 hours. However it all worked out in the end when President Reber decided to be a G and give us the Pday that we missed today! 
I liked something Elder Plumb wrote in his email, "Let´s go play some offense not defense, time to grind." Things have really been progressing in San Vicente recently, and it looks like we're gonna have a lot of big stuff coming up soon! So with that in mind we're playing offense this week, cause it's time to grind. Shoutout to Coach Plumb, and as always let me know how you're all doing!

Cuernos Abajo,

Elder Johnson

  ¡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 strik...

  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...
