Hey I'm sorry to hear you guys were all sick, I know it's a no fun being sick. That reminds me of something though, one thing I learned is when I got sick and didn't have my family to take care of me I became alot more dependent and had to grow up alot more when it happened. But anyways it stinks to hear that hunting is going so down hill, even I can tell the difference from when I started hunting with dad to now. It really is getting harder to find things these days. I will let you all know I still get my fair share of hunting in down here and it's year round, haha wouldn't you know!!!!!! The average stray mut is in season all year long and itis smiled upon in this country every time there is one less of them running around. Which reminds me I have a picture of of a dead mut lying in the river I will send you. I didn't kill it, I'm pretty sure the water did Ha Ha, cause the water is black. Other than that this week we lost about 4 investigators that were getting ready for baptism because one, the mom found out we don't drink coffee and told us quote "I have been drinking coffee since I was 3 years old and I don't plan on stopping, besides I think it's better that I return to my old church so my family can be together there." So this week was pretty lame, other than that we got 2 different less active members back to church and we also had 1 new investigator in church so we'll see what happens with him his name is Sergio and he's about 29 years old. I'll make sure to send you pictures. What food do I miss most......

Defiantly In & Out Burger, and just about every other fast food restaurant that I once had the free agency to go to.

Oh I almost forgot to tell you guys I took on the challenge of reading the Book of Mormon in 10 days, its going well, I have it planed all out to help me finish it in time the only hard thing is I have to wake up 2 hours earlier than usual to finish the planned reading days. Well love you guys, and talk to you next week.

Love, Elder Kyle Johnson

Celebrating with Nachos

Ok so my birthday wasn't anything special I really didn't even feel like it was my birthday which was kinda dumb but I'll explain to you guys what happened because overall I did have a good day. So first off the picture I sent you guys was of one of the families we ate with, they are definitely my favorite family in this area its the Visoni family and they're the coolest. We ate nachos with them and then my comp and the New Zone leader Elder Gledhill played the guitar and we all had a good time. Other than that we had a normal day just working hard and teaching investigators. So our baptism fell through with Oscar, but at around 5pm the sisters called us and told us the guy that was going to preform their baptism left for the capital and they asked me to do the baptism for them so I ended up getting in the water after all on my b day, so you guys want a story.... well we are at the baptism and they finish the talks and stuff and ask everyone to follow me a brother Edgar (the guy that was getting baptized) to the baptismal font so we could preform the baptism, and we go to open the door I see that there's NO WATER in the font! The sisters forgot to fill it up. Well to make a long story short the baptismal service lasted 2 and half hours because we had to wait for the font to fill up and to top it off the water was ice cold.... the guy wasn't to happy about that. Well love you guys and I'll talk to you next week. Love Elder Johnson

Volcano erupted

Ok so this week was pretty interesting so I'll list everything that happened in order.
1. This week we had a mission conference and everyone go their changes to their new areas and all that good stuff, and I also got my packages so I was pretty happy and I just want everyone to know that I am grateful for all the goodies and stuff.
2. We had a mission cam pout for 2 days, and the purpose was to help the elders be more righteous. I feel it worked out pretty good. The cam pout was cool because there were activities to help everyone learn special attributes on how to be righteous. One of the tings I didn't like though was we weren't able to bring our cameras so I didn't get any pictures of the cam pout.
3. Oh so this week got a picture of the volcano blowing up which was pretty cool! There are 2 right next to my area and the one behind the big one is active and it went off this last week and I got a good pictures of it so I hope you like it.
4. Saturday was our only really full day of working and alot of our appointments were with members so I was sure to let them know that Saturday is my birthday, and so far we have appointments to kill a members duck and eat that and to eat nachos with another member so I'm pretty excited for my birthday. Well I love you guys and everything is going great down here! I have been out 9 months and I'm almost 20 years old. I sure miss all of you and yea the time fly's down here.
Love Elder Kyle Johnson
