Bailee and Aimee went to women’s conference with Mom yesterday.
Tucker went to Con Bro Chill concert.
Wow,
What a week for you guys! Thats pretty crazy, Everyone seems so busy! Im glad you guys are all well! DO you guys have a copy of that video from bailees student council gig? I would love to see it :)
The week went really really good for us,
The weather has made a turn for the worst, Its 105 degrees here in Lemery with full humidity, president claims its the hottest place in the San Pablo mission, its the kind of heat where you get a tan line of your tie through your shirt, but Im loving it! we had Zone Conference, It went well, President Peterson is sick, he actually is in the hospital in Manilla right now and wasn't able to teach at Zone can, but were praying for him. The heat has actually been a good thing, its helped us gain the trust of the members as they see that were ready to brave it!
The AP's came on splits again, Elder Boyd from Hillcrest (who actually went to a dance with Elle Vawdery) worked with me, I actually went on my first exchanges on the mission with him, and it was amazing to see the changes in both of us, were so much better as teachers, and the growth in each person we taught was great to see. The work is looking up here in Lemery, people are progressing, the members are working, and we can really see the hastening begin.
Im so excited for conference! were working to prepare spiritually for it,
The cultural joys of this week came as the heat did, as the heat rises, people do all they can to just stay cool, and its not too rare to see a large shirtless man sitting in a kiddie pool next to his water tap. It actually has made for some great opportunities to try and share the gospel as they really cant leave.
I love the Philippines, and i feel so bblessed for those god has blessed us with to teach here in Lemery, Things are looking up :)
Yea, that sounds great, once I get the camera situation resolved, ill open up the Drop box account :) Ill try the card again in 48 hrs I got some pics coming from Elder Merrills camera in a few minutes..
That Con Bro Chill thing was great .. She'll get it for sure..Its hilarious :)
. was the Ordination tonight? thats crazyto think about! will he attend elders quorm until he leaves?
Yes he will be in elders quorum starting next week! So weird... So fast.
I worry about Bailee's chances because she's new to the school and not a lot if people know her. But she wanted to try and I admire her courage
Yea, thats great, just get the name out there, and the video will be a family classic for years and years :)
That's so true:) if noting more, a great video keepsake. You sound do good zach. Are you? I love how much you love the Philippine people. I would love to come out and see it when you've completed your mission...
I hope you can! That would be great.. Im sending some pics right now.. I would love to hear maxs thoughts on the ordination!
Zach he fell asleep he is so exhausted. I will tell him you'd like to know about that. You know max, he'll love to share that with you! He was emotional and was very happy to learn that he can give blessings now. You'd be very proud of your brother and the young man he's become. He reminds me of a boy just two years older than him who is quite amazing himself;)
Yea, im excited to see him in just a few short years.. It goes so fast! Thanks so much for all you've done to help everyone to become, Its actually a very rare thing to have a family as strongly centered on the gospel as I know each of us are as brothers and sisters. The Johnson family is pretty amazing, and I sit back and im just thankful to be a part of it!
Oh my I think I'll cry. We are the lucky ones zach... To see our son become the man you've become is the greatest blessing we could ask for on this earth.
Well Im just glad we'll be able to become all we can together not just here, but in the eternities!
I gotta go!
Love you all so much :)
Elder Johnson
