well what a week! on friday we had an earthquake! that was exciting! so there we are in our house and my comp was about to share what she learned during her personal study and then the door was shaking and then the whole house and floor.. it was really weird. we stood up and my comp said a prayer and then it was over. we went to see if our nieghboors were okay or if they had electricity. they didnt and the informed us that the celular line was out.. then not 5 mins after the EQ we heard a knock on the door.. "QUIEN ES!?" and they said "santa claus" our loving ward mission leader... hno Noe. His mama (Sarai) was scared and of course she needed to know that her misioneras were okay. all was well. it was cool cuz it gave us something to talk about with the people in the streets and teach them about the goodness of God. that day was sooo hot and at night it rained and stormed. so naturally my comp was terrified of the possibility that we might need to up and leave our house cuz of the storm... it was just rain and thunder and lightening ya know the normal stuff. but she said "hermana we are in mexico! we dont know!" so she stayed up and but on jeans and a sweater tenis shoes her name tag and all! and then packed caned food, first aid supplies, scriptures, water and who know what else in a backpack. I told her "we are going to have a lot of work to do in the morning putting all this stuff back away... needless to say nothing happened. i slept in pjs and she slept in her name tag... yep we are defs opposites in all things hahaha. it made for a funny night though so i guess it was worth the lack of sleep.
so earlier in the week we were with the bishops daughter (hna. Diana) and we found Guamuchil trees! they are this weird fruit here and i dont know if i should w}be eating them straight off the trees but i havent gotten sick yet sooo pray for me! haha well we had a fun time trying to get the fruit and its not funny now but it was funny climbing up the dirt piles to reach the red fruit!
hmm i dont really know what else to talk about... yesterday at church the bishop was saying something about how it was a special day and then i looked at my comp and said "is today easter!?" welll then i got sad cuz i always make food for you all (family) on easter. i hope you survived without me. my class (i taught gosple priciples) was pretty awkward cuz we didnt have very many people there... (this week was sloooowww cuz its Semana Sena so everyone is on vacation!) but i surrvived... but only to get assigned a TALK!!! ugh please pray for me! i am speaking on La Obra Misional (missionary work) so that should be easy... oh wait its in spanish hahaha m vida! but its okay. im trying not to freak out.
Im still going strong in my little (not so little) area here in Chilpancingo! I love you and miss you and pray for you many times a day! Read Either 12!
con amor-
hermana Johnson
