Alicante

Dear family,

First and foremost, here is my new address:

Hna. Kirsten Johnson

C/ Plaza de la Viña 3, 3º G-22

03007 Alicante,

SPAIN

The city of Alicante is much prettier than Huelva, but it sure was sad saying goodbye to everyone. I worry so much leaving my investigators in others´hands, and I loved the people so much there.

I´m happy to be with Hna. Cano again- she´s just as sassy, classy and hardworking as ever. I´m really getting along with Hna. Flanders too- she has a much more demonstrative/loving personality than me, and I really appreciate it. She does have trouble remembering the words to songs, so when she realized I´ve got it all locked up in ze little grey cells, she announced I was her radio. Only motabs, of course :) ... Ok, maybe some Disney. I also saw Hna. Brown at a zone meeting- all the missionaries I talked with on my way to Alicante told me Hna. Brown was so excited to hear I was coming to Alicante that she burst into tears- I´m glad we´re such good friends and worked so well together.

We´ve been pretty balanced in our teaching as a trio, and I think we´re working well together... besides the fact that we feel like we´re ambushing people when we contact them in the street, being 3 against 1 normally.

None of the investigators we have here want to see us so far, which I think is harder on us because our area is supposed to be a model for other missionaries... and we don´t really have anything. I´m not too concerned- I know we just have to keep working and God will lead the people who are ready to accept the gospel to us. I´m really happy to be here with my great companions- we get along well and I´m excited to see what´s in our future here.

I´m so glad you got my Christmas package. Congratulations, Matt and Brittany- I´m excited to meet Kent Matthew when I come home. To those who have birthdays this week- I´ll have to send the birthday recordings one week late because I left my recorder at home- sorry!

Take care all. Keep me and Alicante in your prayers!

Love, Hna. Johnson
