Wow, sounds like a lot has been going on in the 480! I have been great! I have been trying to have fun but still working just as hard. It can be difficult when you have a companion that doesn't want anything to do with the word F.U.N. I feel bad. I bet he has had a miserable mission. I hope I'm not like that.. so remember if your not having fun then you probably hate what your doing. So anyway I have been good. We didn't teach anyone really this past week. Lots and lots of lessons that fell through.. So this next week we have already packed it full of lessons to teach! We have set up over 15 lessons for this week and counting, so hopefully we can meet with all of them! We have also been slaking in I/O's, so we have been trying to get back up in the triple digits. We have been doing lots of tracting in this area since there isn't any store bigger than a farmers market. So there are no malls to go talk to people at. And also tracting is more exercise, since each house is like a half mile from their neighbor, and their driveways are forever long too. So lots of time walking! In about 6 hours we talk to about 25 people.. so its hard getting I/O's out here but were trying! The members here are awesome! They always help us out and it really makes a big difference being in a ward/branch where members help you! We go on three way splits all the time! Since we sometimes have 3-5 lessons all at the same time! haha I also think I will be shotgun training. Meaning I will open an area that's closed or my trainee and I will both go to a new area. I'm actually really excited if I get to train! The 2 transfers spent training will go by so fast! I'm really excited! :) The down side to training is if you do a crappy job or you slack off, then your trainee becomes a mirror of you. So you have to do a good job so that way they do a good job too and become a good missionary! So I'm excited to do that! Anyway that's about it! I miss you guys and I'm almost 6 months into my mission!
Love,
Elder Johnsen
