Just like you this week has been kind of boring for us. We
have had some great lessons and such but just sort of work as normal. Lundberg and
I ended the transfer with 103 lessons taught or so in total – so not too bad.
As the year is coming to a close we are ready to start again with new
investigators and new adventures. But
for now it’s same old same old.
President Cook came to town this weekend to hold a Branch
Conference. Just sustaining all the
leaders and such. And he also did some
of our interviews. My interview with him
was good - we just talked about nothing for a bit. Then he told me he wanted me to try and start getting
up at 5:30am from now on because, we have to be in earlier than other
missionaries. Psh! That is not likely to happen. We already work extremely hard and are the highest
baptizing mission in the world - I think we are earning all our blessings. As always, president and I remain distant
friends. For once in my life I am the black
sheep. haha. (Note from Mom – Its comments like this that make me realize that,
although Julius is a much better 19 year old than I was, he is still 19 and
pride is still something to be work on.)
So for Christmas Skyping….We talked with the couple and we’re
trying to make a plan. Either we will Skype
Christmas Eve (night here) so it will be Christmas Eve (morning there), or we Skype
on Christmas day (night here) so Christmas day (morning there). It’s up to you to tell me what time will work
best for you and we will try and Skype then. So in your next email I need to know when you
want to do it. Also I need your Skype
account information so we can friend you from here. So to recap - pick a time when you want to try
and Skype and send me you information so we can set it up next Monday and Skype
middle of the week. Hopefully that is a
little clear but we will definitely be talking on Christmas which I am excited
for!
As you all are getting ready for Christmas, I wanted to let
you know I love you all - everyone. Being
in Africa definitely shows me just how much I enjoy being in this specific
family. There’s not another like it in
the world, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. So Mother, you’re right again, I certainly
chose this family in the pre-existence. I
love you guys bunches and can’t wait to talk to you soon. Have a fantastic week and I will try to think
of some good things to tell you over Skype!
Love you,
Elder Julius Johnson
