Semana 27

 What's up friends and family


Great week as always!

Highlights:
  • Holy cow you have no idea how hot it is
  • We were at lunch with some members when Elder Yetter got absolutely LIT UP by this 4 year old girl named Valentina, who kept asking him why She, being 4, could speak better Spanish than him. Luckily for Elder Yetter he couldn't understand what she was saying because man she was just relentless
  • RIP to the United States soccer team but if they had won against the Netherlands, they would've played Argentina next... that would've been very bad for Elder Yetter and me, the only two Americans in San Vicente
  • Our friend Romina got baptized this week! She has a really cool story: One day a few months ago Elder Packer and I got a reference for a dude named Jorje. We taught him once, but he wasn't too interested. However, he told us that we should talk to his sister, Maria, who was going through a hard time. Thus, we decided to give Maria a call. She was super interested in the message, but unfortunately lives in Buenos Aires, so we referred her to the Elders down there. A few days later, however, Maria gave us the contact for her daughter Romina, who lives in San Vicente! When Elder Yetter got to San Vicente we started teaching her, and yesterday she finally got baptized! Definitely a miracle in my eyes. Also, the Elders in Buenos Aires are helping Maria to prepare for Baptism, and Maria's son, Angel, was also baptized a few weeks back! Shoutout to the boy Jorje for starting the ball rolling😤
  • We were walking through the Jungle with our friend Hermano Velazquez when we saw a big poisonous snake. The Hermano gasped and yelled "KILL THE SNAKE" and then proceeded to start throwing big rocks at it. So we took a good 5 minutes to play hit the snake with big rocks... I call it public service
Thanks to everyone who has reached out! As always I appreciate the love and support! Let me know how you're all doing!

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 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...
