Week 10

suSo I took out 80 something dollars the other day. It is to avoid fees with the ATM. The fees are like 6 bucks a time. So I took out 80 and that should last me a while. I will try and make it last. I dont want to be burden. I am going to by a really nice case for my Book of Mormon. It is leather and has pictures drawn into it if you want. I am going to get the 1st vision on the front and Garden of Gethsemane on the back. I sent a letter last week. I tried to send one this week to Rick but they wouldnt take it because it wasnt in an envelope. So I hope that my letter I sent last week gets there. I didnt put a return address so hopefully it does. I will be buying envelopes tomorrow because we didnt get the opportunity to shop today. We were up at the CCM again with the Doctor. My comp had a ingrown toenail so he had to get it out. Was kinda fun to watch. It was also fun to go there because all the Elders and Sisters who had been in the CCM for two weeks when I left I got to talk to them for a little bit. Kinda like a rockstar because everyone is asking how it is and stuff. haha. But they are leaving tomorrow which is awesome.
This week was pretty good. WE actually got 20 lessons! woooo! We almost didnt because everything was falling yesterday. EVERYTHING. We barely got 2. I thought I was cursed for a second. I really wish I was fluent already. It would make this so much better. Oh well I am learning. I still have alot of fun with our investigators and less actives. Who needs to talk to funny right?
So one day this week we did divisions with another companionship because my comp is district leader. It was fun because the one I was with was super crazy kinda like me. So we had alot of fun. And I get to go to the other sectors because I dont really know our secotrs that well. So I got to meet some new people that were really fun. The funny part though is this Elder heas 9 months in the mission and the families were saying that my spanish is better. I kinda felt bad. Haha but I still cant understand anything. And alot of the times I get lost in translating. Sometimes my spanish just flies out of my mouth. I think it is when the spirit is really strong my spanish feels better. 
I like that Book of Mormon idea. I love reading the Book of Mormon right now. I like it more then the Bible for sure. But I gotta learn the Bible too. Ill be reading the BoM in spanish during language study. The stories just come alive now. It is weird. And I thirst for spiritual things now. I want to just keep reading.  I just apply the stories to my life so much easier now.
One thing though is I am really staring to like like talking about deep doctrine and stuff. Because on divisions me and the Elder talked alot about cool stuff. The Gospel is just so amazing! Why didnt I notice it earlier? Im jsut glad I did. And I hope I can help many others see that.
Thanks for all the Updates. I love hearing about everything! Thanks for loving me enough to write me! I need to get better with writing letters though.

Love Elder Justin Johnson
