Hey guys,
I love this area. There are some really cool things happening every week. In 3 transfers in Zamora we found 7 new investigators, this week we got our 10th this transfer. It's amazing how different it is.
Our goal for the week was to find 3 new investigators. We knew it would be tough because we last monday and Tuesday to zone conference but it's always possible. Then Saturday morning came and we still didn't have any. So we made plans to go visit a few people and we were thinking it would be an easy day. Boy were we wrong. Not one plan worked. Elder Tiebing was sick the whole time. It was a disaster. But we kept going and I looked through the old area book from a few years ago. We found a part member family that we could visit. In the end the guy we were looking for wasn't there, but his grand-daughter was and she was super interested. After a while her mom came out and we ended up teaching them. Then later we were driving down the road and elder Tiebing saw a guy he talked to a few weeks before I got here. So we parked the car and ran over to him. He was super nice and we taught a lesson right there on the street. All of that happened within 2 hours on the last day of the week and we hit our goal. It's so cool how things work out sometimes. That was my favorite little miracle this week. (we did the math and if the whole mission found at the rate our district is right now, we would find over 1,300 new investigators a month)
I mentioned that elder Tiebing is sick still. He has an appointment with a doctor today. Unfortunately that will be what we do while the district is hiking, but that's OK. As long as he gets better. We had spend Thursday night in piso again because he wasn't doing very well. I'm a little worried we will go the entire transfer and I will never get to work with the real Elder Tiebing. It ends next weekend. There is one cool thing, we found risk in the la Laguna piso so we're playing that today.
Zone conference was amazing this week. Maybe my favorite so far. I don't think we could have covered more. We talked about the change in missions, the new president, mission rules and changes, how to have better companionships, how to work with members, and how to find better. It was loaded. One of the rule changes is hangouts. We won't be able to use that anymore. The rest weren't too big. We have known about the mission change for a while. It's pretty exciting. We will take about half of the mission, so I could totally end up in the south. It all depends on where you are July 1. There is even a possibility that a bunch of our missionaries go to Barcelona. We won't know until they release the official boundaries though.
Monday night was fun with the APs. We just went on splits so one of them could visit some people. He served here earlier in his mission and he's going home next week. Then after that we ran to a supermarket and loaded up on soda and snacks. We finally made tacos! It's been 6 months since I last had tacos. That was amazing. But yeah, that was a party.
So I'll just finish up with some pictures and talk about some food real quick. We went to an arepa place this week before district meeting. WOW... It was way good. I'll send a picture.
Then we also went to a seafood buffet with an investigator. I know we're on an island so I thought the seafood would be better. It's cheap, but nothing special. Still, it was free food.
Anyways, talk to you next week,
Elder Johnson
