HOLAAAA, never want to leave

holaaa!

So something fun about the Spain Barcelona Mission is that we take the "speak with dignified language" part of the white handbook (the book of all the missionary rules that we have to follow) very seriously. There is actually a list of words that we have to take out of our vocabulary: cool, awesome, you guys (I'm literally cringing just writing it haha). So it's fun having a new missionary as my companion because she's working on taking all those words out of her vocab. It's funny. Good times. 

So the ideal in the mission is that the members of the church bring their interested friends to church and that the friends come to us with desires to learn more. That's kinda tricky in Spain, we're not quite to that point yet, BUT this week it happened!!! A member brought her friend to church and she's so excited to learn more!!! So we're teaching her this week and we're SUUUUPER PUMPED. That's probably the happiest thing ever. So more updates to come on that one.

We've been doing a lot of finding this week and we've got appointments with people set up for every single hour of every day of this week. THAT is the happiest feeling ever in missionary work. So ya know. I'm happy over here:)

Also today we went to Valencia for preparation day and my companion tried Valenciano horchata for the first time! It's not as yummy as central/south american horchata, but ya know. Gotta have the experience. 

I love the mission! Happy halloweeeeen!!!!!

Love you all!

Love,

Hermana Johnson

Also this week the Rohde's came over. They're the senior couple here in Valencia and their calling is to fix all the pisos of the missionaries. So they come 3 times to each piso and help us deep clean, fix things that are broken, buy us things that we don't have that we're supposed to have, stuff like that. So Friday they came and were literally at our piso from 9:30 am to 11:00pm. We moved stuff around, put up pictures, cleaned like CRAZY, it was exhausting. But now our piso is beautiful so that's fun.

Hm what else. My companion is doing so well. Everyone is amazed at how well she speaks Spanish.she LOVES missionary work. And she works hard. It's so fun

So yeah life is good. Couldn't be better actually. Mostly I just never want to leave here and I want Hermana Vance to be my companion forever!
