2 November 2009

Hey Mom!!!!

Everything is going Great!!!! We got transfers and my new comp and I are staying here in the same area and we are excited for this transfer. We ended up not having any baptisms this last transfer but we are sure to have some this transfer. We have had a lot of good success this last week and are working hard to keep it up after all the snow that came the week before and distroid (destroyed) most of our appointments.

Earlier this week, we were teaching one of our investigators and we taught about prophets and then we don't like have pamphlets for this lesson so we gave her a gospel principles book with the chapter marked to study before the next time. Well, we came back and asked if she had read the chapter and she said yeah then showed us that she had read the first 17 chapters of the gospel principles book. . . Ha ha!!! Talk about a surprise . . . then we taught the word of wisdom and her husband, who had not previously been listening, listened and at the end asked, "can you bring me one of these books too?" We didn't have anymore in the apartment so I just gave him mine!!!! He was really excited!!!!
Oh yeah, and they both came to Stake Conference when I was only expecting to see her.

In Stake Conference Elder and Sister Bowen came to speak along with Sister Julie Beck and Matsumori. It was really awesome to listen to them!!!! But it still wasn't the same as having our Stake Conference in the Conference center like at home!!!

Anyways, also, yesterday, we found a couple new people, one is the daughter of a brother in our ward who is the only member in his family. Then also, we found a family from Bolivia, much better off than the family that we were teaching in Neuquen when I was there. They are Awesome, I love the people from Bolivia!!!!

Anyways that's just about all for me, oh, yeah, it did rain a lot Tuesday and Wednesday---like all day!!!

Love you!!!
Your Elder Johnny Berghout

Wow . . . .Only 11 Months left---It's passing too Fast.
