Semana 35

 Que tal


Another great week this week! Here's my highlights:
  • Note from last week: Totally forgot to add this to the email but two of our friends, Zuni and Ingrid, got baptized a few weeks ago! I added the picture below!
  • Poor Elder Smith wanted to do some street contacting one day as we were walking home from the Terminal, so I taught him how to start a contact in Spanish and set him loose on the people of Formosa. Unfortunately he got flashed within the first few minutes so that experience didn't last too long
  • There's a kid in our neighborhood who has been STUDYING when we leave our apartment every day so he can throw CD's at us. Don't ask me why or how he has so many CD's, but it's been every day this week. He sees us walking down the street, yells something in Guaraní, and throws a blank CD at us, before disappearing into a house within seconds. The CD Bandito is still at large
  • We had lunch at a member's house this week and one of the kids said "Yo Elder Johnson I found you on Spotify" and played Powerball by Luckus on full blast. All the way through. Technically it was against the rules but I wasn't about to stop him
  • Our friend Santiago had a Baptismal date for Sunday the 4th of February, but he called us the other day and said that he'd rather get baptized on his Birthday this Tuesday😎 so we're super excited for him!
  • Our friend Astrid got Baptized on Saturday!
  • There's a lady at the grocery store near our house who has been trying to get me to buy a watermelon for about three weeks now. She's been trying her best but I refuse to buy a watermelon when it costs about $20... but today she made a Pro-Marketing move and gave us half a watermelon for free. I'll keep you updated but I'm pretty sure that I am gonna get guilted/gaslighted/forced into buying a $20 watermelon sometime soon
Thanks to everyone for the support! Make sure to let me know how you're doing!

Cuernos Abajo,

Elder Johnson

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 ...

  ¡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...
