Christmas is here
(*Note: We called Noah and were able to chat with him for about 35 minutes before adding Dylan to the conversation. Then we were all on for about 12 minutes. Then Noah had to sign off and we continued talking to Dylan for about 35 minutes. BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER!!!)

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you are all super fat from eating so much food!! I definitely am. I hope you all had an amazing white Christmas too, because, sadly, i did not. No pasa nada, está bien.

Martes:

Today we had district meeting and then went and got pizza!! It was super good, I love pizza so much. Then we had a visit with Dasco and his family! And they only speak Bulgarian, so we were able to Skype with the elders in Bulgaria which is so cool!!! And they accepted a baptismal date for the 13 of January so that's super awesome! Overall, a good day.

Miércoles:

Oh man, today was long. We had the senior couple missionaries over to inspect our piso and so we pretty much cleaned from 9:30 until 5:30... I hate cleaning.

Jueves:

We had weekly planning this morning which is always "eh" but we made some good plans so I guess that's what matters. Today we taughtbthe restoration with a rubix cube (my comp is a maniac with them) and showed how when we have prophets and the knowledge of the restoration, everything else fits into place. Tonight I'm also on my first intercambio in Catarroja with Elder Astorga. Hes from Guatemala and is super nice. I guess he's also really good at basketball because he played on the Guatemalan national team... crazy stuff.

Viernes:

Today Elder Astorga and I started the day off right with P90X3 "The Challenge." It was super fun! I miss Tony Horton in my life. Today all our visits cancelled on us so instead we did a ton of contacting and door knocking! For lunch we had kebab, which is kinda like a gyro in the US but 10x better!! #ilovefood

Then I went back to Gandía at 8 to catch our ward Christmas party. It was fun, but not as fun as the wanderwood ward #wombats4life. Then Wenner were returning to piso, we met a man named Vicente who is apparently a skateboard teacher at a local skatepark... I guess I know where we'll be "proselyting" this week.

Sábado:

We started off today with like 3 hours of contacting which was rough. Then after lunch we did 2 more hours of contacting. On the bright side we should have a couple investigators in church tomorrow so woohoo!!

Domingo:

CHRISTMAS EVE!!! It's a good day. Today Dasco and his wife Daisy came to church today!! It was so awesome to have them there. Then we went with the Hermanas and did a ton of Christmas caroling and got a lot of doors slammed in our faces... weirdys.

Lunes:

Yo what up, it's Christmas. Today we watched the first presidency Christmas devotional and I saw Brother Brown (seminary teacher) and Mr Abbott (middle school choir teacher) in the MoTab so that was cool. Then we had 2 lunches at 12 and 2 so that was very nice since I'm a fat boy. Then at 5 I got to Skype my family! Ahhhhh I love them so much! I don't know where I'd be without them. Also, LJ sounds like he has a deeper voice than Taylor now so that was weird.

Also I got to open my Christmas pajamas from mom so I'm extra happy tonight!!

Thanks for reading, I hope you all have an amazing Christmas and enjoy the incredible food. Also, I wanna say that I know my Savior lives. I know he knows us and loves us, and through him we can all find peace and comfort. #GraciasaÉl

Love your favorite Johnson,

Elder NJ

(*Note: During our Christmas chat Noah mentioned that an Elder has a ukulele that he plays for stuff...we told him if it wasn't against the rules to go buy a guitar. I guess he took us up on that offer....immediately :)
