Cuatro Dias Mas!!!!!!! No Creo! my mind is blown when i think about my life en el CCM ending... it's weird i feel like this is all i have ever know! thats a bit dramatic but very true!! oh and last friday we got our travel plans!!! and we celebrated with the chips and salsa con caso! dad that package made my whole district sooo happy!! and there was tons of candy in it too!! they alll said "i love your dad" hahaha you are a district favorite!
okay so there is always soooo much to tell you but i either cant remember, dont have time or just dont know how to put it all into words... okay so yesterday in class after dinner we had a plan to do something hilarious in class so here is how it all played out.... we had these fuzzy orange and green mustaches and during language study our teacher was writing a big long thing on the board so we all put them on and Hna. Tidwell (the hilarious one from Az) said "Hermano Chatterly i mustache you a question" and he turns around and only saw Tidwell and Naut in their staches.... for those 5 seconds we thought we would be busted and that he wasnt amused... but then he turned to see we ALL had them and the look on his face was killer!!! i swear his eyes were watering and he said "this is the best thing that has ever happened to me" and then we all died laughing. im sorry if it doesnt come across as hilarious in email because it truly was the best thing ever.
So we all have tribal names... it all started with Tidwell (everything great starts with her) and she is tiger lily my name is Blue duck and there are more but i will have to just send a picture of the list next week cuz i forgot to take one! but that was pretty great too. Chatterly is "chief one cut" cuz he has this funny story with his hair and i am realizing that it wont make sense on email so yeah haha... trust me its hilarious.
well this week was great and it was full of many wonderful experiences. one of my favorite things from this week was when we studied 3 Nephi 11 (mom thats your new reading assignment). Christ truly is the most wonderful and loving and compassionate person to have ever lived. His mercy and grace astounds my more and more each day. the scriptures really do come alive now when i read them. i can never get enough of them!
ooh soo my cheap laundry soap gave me a rash all over soooo the other day i had to do an emergency load during gym time. okay so i was there with one of our sisters and we were practicing grammer and this guy started talking talking to us and he only spoke a little bit of english so we started talking to him in spanish!! it was great! and then these guys came in while we were talking and after the other guy left they asked us a few questions and they were like one word answer q's so we just replied in spanish without thinking and they were like umm "do you speak english?" hahahaha it was awesome! they could understand us cuz they served in brazil and speak Portuguese. as horrible as i am at spanish i really do love it. it is a funny language and a marvelous one!
so vulnerably moment... the other night i was saying my prayers and i was just filled with so much gratitude and humility because it just hit me so hard that i was speaking to my heavenly father in spanish. i just started to cry right there in our little closet on my knees cuz i couldnt believe just how blessed i am and just home much i love being a servant of the lord. this work is all about love. i know this is sooo cheesy but love truly is the same in every language so i know that even though i still cant speak with words very well i can at least love the people i get to serve and nothing is more exciting and glorious than that. every time i miss home and wish i could be with the people i love most i just have to remind myself that the lord has people waiting for me in mexico that he needs me to love just as much.
this truly is the lords work and i know that he will always provide away to make it all work out. I know that this gospel is true and that the lord loves his children.
Muchas Muchas gracias por todas las cosas!!!
Love- Hermana Johnson
