the big news of the week is that I´m staying with Hna. Brown here in Huelva this transfer, which means that after nearly 7 months as a missionary, I¨m finally going to finish my own training.
Things are... going. This might be a shorter letter home because there isn´t much happening. The Chilean family out in Valverde is progressing a little slowly- partially because we can´t get out to see them much, since it´s 2 hours of travel total, and because the bus schedule is really unreliable. We were stuck there for three hours the other day waiting for a bus that never came- some members had to drive all the way out from Huelva to save us. Hna. Brown and I were pretty disappointed when they didn´t come to church- the night before we´d called them and they assured us they would.
We received what looked like a golden reference from an investigator- a young spanish woman who´d heard about us and really wanted to meet with us. Like we always do when we first teach someone, we asked her what her expectations were from meeting with us. Her response? Learning English.
Apparently there was also a woman that showed up to the church on a Saturday during a YSA activity, and told them she needed to fill her life spiritually and would come on Sunday. She didn´t show up, and no one asked her for her phone number or address.
On the bright side, Hna. Brown and I receive marriage proposals on a regular basis, so it would appear that I don´t have to worry about being an old maid.
Really though, we are contacting more and trying as best we can to set up appointments. Hna. Brown´s Spanish is improving. We´re reading the Book of Mormon as a mission, and I love what I learn from it every day- I know that it is the most correct book on earth, and that it is the evidence of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Keep us in your prayers.
Love, Hna. Johnson
