Well I got changed this week. I am now in the town of Chinique which is in the department of Quiche. I bet your all wondering who's my companion......... Well I'm pleased to tell all of you that I'm now companions with Elder Snell. We came into the field in the same group, I sat behind him on the plane ride down here and he has been my best friend the past 10 months of my mission and well now we are companions. I don't know how it happened or how long it will last but I'm one happy missionary right now especially since we are already having success with our first baptism this coming Saturday. Elder Snell is from Alaska. Ok so you guys kinda have a hint of where I'm at and who I'm with so now I'll share some stories of what happened this week. So as I said earlier we have a baptism this coming weekend and the picture I sent of my area is from the kids house which is about an hour and a half's hike from the church straight up a hill. It is kinda funny actually because 3/4 of the branch I'm now in, lives 1-2 hours away from the city up in the mountains, and we found out the branch is about 87 people. It's crazy to see how humble and faithful these people are. Anyways back to the kid, his name is Pedro and he is 12 years old......we actually had to find his birth papers because he didn't know when his birthday was, neither did his family. Actually none of them knew when they were born, and Pedro turned 12 the 4th of February and didn't even know it, how sad huh. It was the first time in my life that I've met someone that didn't know when they were born. Another story so were in sacrament meeting and the Branch President invites a kid up to the stage to share something with the branch....... well it turns out it was his mission call and he opened it and read it in front of the whole branch and for the first time!!!!!!!! I'm not quite sure if they are aloud to do that but I thought it was a cool thing to do.
Just so you all know there are only 6 Elders in my zone, and my zone covers the biggest department in all of the Quetzaltenango mission.
Oh me and my companion also found out this week we have a pet dog, we named her lady and she follows us all over the mountains and comes to all of our appointments with us it's pretty cool, she's a really pretty lab and she lives in the house next to us but comes everywhere with us.
Well that's all for this week.
Love Elder Johnson
