This week was pretty good, lots of good things happened, I guess. We found 2 new people which was pretty cool there super prepared. So we will see how that goes in the coming weeks. Otherwise same thing just a different day haha  The Fullmers finally came to church! So that was super exciting! And Faith Bensinger even came to church, which was super exciting! So we’re excited to see what all happens with them in the coming weeks! Brother Bensinger has even softened up a little bit by now, offering rides for us if we ever need them! So that was super nice of him! We also did some service for him to try and help him out! So that was awesome! We’re hoping to see if we can get him to church next! But we’ll see what happens.

The comp has been good! We’re having fun doing our thing! He has gotten a lot better which is good. I was informed a few days ago that since being his companion he has made huge progress as a missionary. So that was nice to hear that, even though it’s hard and that sometimes I feel like I’m not sure why I’m his companion, it was nice to know that I'm helping him out a lot.

Yesterday we had Elder Bennett from the Seventy came to the mission. It went super well, except like all Seventy they kinda just rebuke us. So it was cool to meet him and get to know him, but he is the tangent king. He went on so many tangents it was nuts. But it was cool to meet another General Authority. I asked if we would trade me ties but he said no. So that was depressing, but he had a decent excuse. He said his wife got him that tie. I’ll bet he has a hundred ties his wife has given him. He doesn’t have one from Elder Johnsen though! Oh well. But it was pretty cool.

But I guess the only other cool thing that happened was that my crown on my tooth came off. So that sucked. It was weird not having it on, but a dentist in the ward said the only thing he could do was slap some cement on the old crown and use it as a temporary one and hope that it will last until I get home. He said he can’t guarantee it will make it two months but it beats trying to make a new one and paying big money for it haha. Anyway, that was our week! I love you guys so much! 

Love,

Elder Johnsen
