28 September 2009

Hey mom!!!

Sounds like everything is going good there. Ha ha like always!!! Yeah I figured that Devon Kenney would be getting back soon. Ha ha!!!

Anyways this week went great too!!! We found a bunch of people and oh yeah, we put a baptismal date with a lady for the 31st of October. I love the mission, I don't know what else to say.

Hey Dad
Yeah I'm enjoying being a District leader but you know I would really just more than anything just have to worry about the work and not other elders but no this transfer my district is awesome especially the two elders that I'm staying with for now till my companion gets here for another 2 weeks. Working in three is really weird but it is awesome too!!!

We found a lot of new people this week and are working really hard!!! Oh yeah, we put a baptismal date too!!! Everything seems to be working out so good now that I with two elders that are really willing to work with all they have. My last comp. was really lazy when it came to getting out of bed in the morning and studying. I dropped the can a lot trying to help him but sometimes I'm not sure why some elders come on the mission other than to vacation for two years.

Anyways
Everything is going great
Love

21 September 2009

Hey Mom,

Sorry I forgot to write about the food last week, but yes I did receive your email from your work!!! Thanks.

Anyways about the food. . . Yes it is really good. . . Well the things that are like the traditional stuff that they cook like empenadas, pastel de papas, noquis, and asodo. Other than that they just always do like pastas with the exact same sauce. As a missionary you really get tired of that sauce but its okay cause its food and you really don't care as long as you don't go hungry.

Wow sounds like things have really turned around with the High School Football team---That's way awesome!!!!

Wow that's crazy---Kurt going to Mongolia--Oh yeah--AND with short hair!!!. . . Oh yeah and now that I'm almost half way with my mission. Wish him luck for me and tell him I'll be there when he gets back!!!!

Anyways, about my week, it went pretty good. This week we didn't find any new people or baptize anyone but we have two investigators that are progressing pretty good. I hope that we can get them in the water this transfer!!! Oh yeah, this transfer. . .I am going to be training a new missionary!!!! I still don't know who it is and won't know for another three weeks so I'll be solo til he gets here, Ha ha . . . just kidding!!!! I'll be working with two other elders in my district until he gets here or if I can find a young man that would like to be a mini missionary for three weeks!!!

Anyways that's just about all for right now, but hope you guys have a great week!!!

Love
Your Elder Johnny Berghout

P.S. The package that I sent should be getting there this week!!!

14 September 2009

Hey Mom!!!

Wow... seems like everything is going great there!!! Thanks for the package, it was great!!! Oh yeah, people can write me, the only thing is it might take me a bit to write back cause I only have an hour every week to write everyone so yeah, it would be great to hear from people!!!!

I sent the package today with some goodies for you guys to try. You'll have to break or cut them so that everyone can try a bit of each one!!! They told me it would take 8 days to get there so be looking for it in the next week!!!

The work is going good, we have some good lessons planned for this week and are hoping that everything goes well. We may be setting some more baptismal dates but we'll have to see what the Lord wants us to do.

Anyways that's just about all for right now so until next week!!!
Love
