Ivonn and Hugo

Hey family hey tell dad im only going to start sending 1 email to th family cause it takes to much time to write everyone and i only have an hour to write but anyways i hoe you get to 2 pictures i attached to this email 1 picture is ivonn and her new husband hugo and the other is me and my companion and the two of them and as you can see i was the one that baptized. But other than that we have 11 new investigators who have all attended church so the work is going well. We get fed lunch almost every day by members and im pretty sure im gaining alot of wait but its ok cause i work out really hard so its all just turning into muscle. So there´s a volcano in xela and i see it shoot out huge columns of smoke everyday so hopefully it doesnt blow or anything to crazy even though a natural disaster would be nice there really fun to experience.Our new house is nice its on the 2nd floor in an apt. building. Im doing great and Its great to hear from all of you thanks for sending off that package i actually need a few more things now that i think about it. An electric shaver and my rubix cube but those can wait for another time. Oh and we have that spray bottle for fleas but they still keep coming and i drenched my bed in the stuff so i dont know what to do but oh well. Love ya family. Elder Johnson

Kyle phone's home

Hi family and friends, July 7, 2010
I just talked to Kyle in Guatemala. He is doing great, he was able to call home to let us know he is in his new area. San Antonio Huista he says it is the most northern town in Guatemala, on the Mexico boarder. He love his companion who is from Concord Calif., and has been out for 18 months. They live in the church building where they do have shower facilities, and a hot plate to cook. Kyle says that the area is all jungle. He loves his mission and love his new mission Pres. It took him 6 hours on a chicken bus from Quetzaltenango to get to San Antonio Huista. They are there in this area to reactivate the members. He did get my package and letters I sent him, I was happy. He sounded so good. He said he eats a lot of eggs and beans. Get on goggle and type in San Antonio Huista then click images and it will show you pictures of where Kyle is serving. What a wonderful surprise. We were all able to talk to him. Ted, Dallan and myself. His new p-day is Mondays. Either e-mail him or use Dear Elder.com to write, or the pouch mail. Thanks for all your support and love for Kyle.
Love,
Debbie and Ted

Hey MOMMA HAPPY BIRTHDAY i hope that is a good enough present for you cause i cant really do much from were im at, i love you sooo much. Tell jason happy birthday to i dont have time to write everyone. So this week we went to central park again were the captil build is at and went contacting again. I have so pretty intense stories for you this time so buckle up, so first off i didnt get a latino companion just a brand spanking new north american straight out of the mtc in provo....... anyways it showed me how much i really new cause i alone handed out 3 books of mormons, made on guy cry, and got a for sure 4 really really good investigators that want to hear more. Ok so time for the scary part, i'll start with first the clowns that were shooting up herion( not sure how to spell that) but any ways they were screaming and shooting up drugs in the middle of central park, pretty crazy. The second stroy was the guy that almost mugged me, so i was contacting some people when a guy came up and was smoking a cig. and while blowing the smoke in my face was asking if i had 1 qetzal for him and i said no. well he wasnt to happy about that and started calling me some pretty nasty name and he dropped the f bomb a good 15 time all within 2 inches from my face. Well long story short people told him to go away after they saw enough and i was safe. I love you all tons im doing great and i love this country. LOVE ELDER Johnson
