Happy 2010!
So If you haven’t heard yet it is now 2010! And we all know what that means. It means that in exactly 10 months from today I will be back on Yankee soil! Weird thought right?
So this last week we have spent most of our time trying to find new investigators and the only method of finding new that seems to be working is through knocking, well, clapping doors. We seem to be able to teach a few people but it is usually a little difficult to get them to go to church being that it is a fairly long way to the church from our area. President Pickett gave us some good instructions about how to re-divide the area so that we can have more space to work and also more members to help us out.
On Saturday we had the opportunity to go over to the house of Patricia who was one of our two baptisms a few weeks back. She lives basically up in the jungle so it was pretty fun. The other elders in the ward went up there with us and we had a little family night type thing. We spent most of the time boulder jumping with them and taking some really awesome pictures that look like we are in the middle of the sky. As they were giving us the grand tour they showed us a vine that had grown. Yes a real Tarzan vine and I had the privilege to take a few swings on it. I was probably like 15 or so feet in the air after taking a running jump. I was terrified that it would break but surprisingly it was very strong. I spent some time trying to catch some chickens and in the end I ended up getting one and I was able to hypnotize it by putting it on the ground and drawing a straight line in front of its face. There are also enormous lizards up there that are about the size of Lex the dog but way longer and would probably devour him.
Well, happy new years to all of you and I hope that it brings many great things to all…(aside from me being in your presence again.) ;)
Love,
Elder Johnson
