It's all good up in the hood over here. Not much goin' on really. I think today we're gonna go down to the beach and hang out and stuff, so that should be sick. This week we had our temple trip in Apia. That was way cool. I was mega stoked. Going to the temple is always like the best thing ever. It was tight. We got to Apia on Tuesday and stayed the night there and then went to the temple all morning on Wednesday. And on Tuesday night we had a training which was really good too.
And then the night we came back from Apia, the power was out at our house so we had a "moonlight picnic" with the family we live with. It was very romantic and lovely, quite nice. And then the rest of the week my companion was sick, so we just stayed at the house for a few days. I pretty much just read from the Bible the whole time. I'm just going through all the boring stuff from the Old Testament and then reading all the cool stories. So that was good. I'm reading the Book of Mormon in Samoan again, so I did a lot of that too. It was good.
Things are going good in the area, we haven't really had a chance to get a ton of work done cause I was sick, and then the temple trip, and then my comp was sick. But it's all good. I'm excited to get back into it this week. It should be good. Everything's good in the area. It's good stuff. There's not much to talk about--really this week was pretty uneventful.
Mom, I hope you're doing alright. I'll keep praying for you. I hope everything goes well. I haven't heard from anyone yet, but hope things are good.
Anyways, love you all,
Elder Johansen
PS Eric also sent a memory card with photos and videos. Anyone is welcome to view them next time they stop by the house. He sent a list of some of the highlights:
"Here's my memory card. There's some dope stuff. There's like a million videos of these dudes playing like the exact same song. All the videos are pretty much the same--they just made me record all these videos so they could watch them. It's okay, I guess. So that's what that is. Then there's:
- Pictures from Nansen's last day in the area
- Cool stuff with a bat
- Baptisms
- More chicken video
- Butterflies being made
- Playing tunes at Palepa & Samai's "Honeymoon"
- Baptism with Pato
- Dope adventures by the ocean/climbing a coconut tree
- Video of me climbing into this rock crevasse and this giant wave comes up and splashes me and got me totally soaked.
- Doin' stuff at the plantation
- Shooting guns with Buck Davis
- Pullin' up taro
- Ana's baptism (I had tonsillitis that day which is why my neck is swollen)
- Dinner--cooked pig
- 4th of July
- At the temple
- Dead lizard squished on my journal
- AP's spankin' around at our house
- All the beach photos were from our awesome p-day we had today dow non the beach in Neiafu. It's the same beach we went to before so some of the pictures are pretty much the same as my last memory card. But it was dope fun. Anyway, that's my memory car. Keep steezin'
