Dear the fams,
This week
was good--not crazy eventful, however. This will probably be my last
letter I will send you. By the time you get this, I will only be a week
or so from coming home anyway.
We've again had some good success lately with some
less active people. We were able to commit two people to receive their
endowment and then a bunch of our recent converts are all preparing to
go to the temple for baptisms for the dead, which will be way sweet.
And we've also been helping these other less active dudes to quit
smoking and stuff. It has been pretty good.
The mission has gone by fast. It's crazy. I hit my
two years mark a few days ago...it doesn't even feel like it has been
that long. It hasn't really hit me that I'm so close to finishing. It
probably won't until I'm on the plane, I guess. It is going to be a sad
thing to have to leave Samoa. I've really grown to love these people a
lot.
Yesterday I bore my last testimony in church. It is
really coming down to it. I don't really know what to say this week.
It has been good though.
Our snake and crab
are still doing good. I've been wondering if it is worth it trying to
sneak the crab in my suitcase. We'll see what happens.
A crazy lady came to the house we were eating dinner
at last night and then just sat down at the table and started eating
with us uninvited. Haha. It was way funny. There is this Samoan dish
called lu'au that we were eating, but they didn't bring her a lu'au and
she got all mad. It was just an unusual experience. And then she
burped and left abruptly right after she finished eating. Good stuff.
We're still working hard and seeing some good things
happen. I've only got a few weeks left so I want to give it my all.
We're hoping we can have some investigators ready for baptism before I
leave, but I guess we'll see.
My mission has been the greatest experience so far and I will be supper bummed to leave. But it's all good.
See you in a few weeks,
Elder Johansen
