Spain
has this fun tradition where at midnight on NYE when all the church
bell gongs go off you have to eat a grape with every one of the 12
gongs. So you end up eating 12 grapes super fast. BUT sad day we missed
it! I don't know how...we were all pumped and ready with our grapes,
sitting out on our balcony. But somehow the gongs never went off. So we
just ate our grapes. Good times haha.
Also
yesterday was such a happy day. The members here just take good care of
us and I literally just went from birthday party to birthday party and
ate a lot of cake a blew out a lot of candles. It was so happy and cute.
Literally cried at one point at all the love. I never want to leave:(
Speaking
of leaving...the next time I write I'll be in a completely different
part of Spain!!!!!!! I'm getting transferred! (No idea where yet, they
don't tell us until 3 days before). But that'll be exciting I'll get to
go see a new place and meet new people. Super sad to leave, but new
adventures, it's good.
As
far as missionary work, it's been kinda hard to meet with people this
week. Everyone's SUPER busy and keep telling us that they can't see us
until after all the holidays are over. Makes sense, but ay ay ay.
Brutal. But actually me and Hermana Vance have been going to a new part
of our area that we really never worked in before and it's GOLD! The
people are so nice and we've seen a lot of people with interest over
there. So that's always exciting. Also my companion invited someone from
Nigeria to be baptized over the phone and he said yes. So that's fun
too haha.
Life is so
good. I've been praying and thinking about goals that I want to put for
this upcoming year. I've decided that I'm going to be better at loving
everything. I'm going to love every single day of the mission and I'm
going to love all the people and love myself and focus on love and
charity. Trying to be more like Christ. Goals are so good.
Well I love you all so much!!!! Happy new year!!!!!
Love,
Hermana Johnson
