Nov. 19, 2008

yeah i can understand with being sick. no i'm not sick but my companion is, was, is. back and forth. we stopped by the branch president saturday night and we were there for a bit and then the next morning him and his son who lives in the branch, who was there as well, they both got sick. so we considered ourselves a little lucky. he's been sick twice in the past week. last wensday and yesterday. luckily it's been off and on so it's not been bad. we had a an intesting week to say the least. doesn't sound like you've had to fun of a week for us we had it intestring. i can't believ rebecca is getting married. the last time i heard anything about marraige she was totally turned off by the idea. but i guess that was about a year and a half ago.
so your probably wondering why i said from the cold son, it is very cold here right now. when we left the apartment it was in the thrities this morning. the biggest problem about the cold here is its a wet cold. so it makes it more miserable. yesterday we drove through snow. wasn't sticking but it was cold. and it's funny because last saturday it was high seventies. so it changed fast.
oh yes, i found out that elder salisbury is related to some peterson's, up near the blackffot area of idaho. so i asked him if there from denmark and he said yes. so we might be related somehow. just thought that was intesting.
saturday we had this person we tracted into invite us to his church. basically he said this, if you want me to come to ours come to mine. so we went to a bible study sunday night. it was intesrting. never turned into a bash or anything but it was differnt. he never came though, but the pastor there knew we were coming. we were kind of nervous about what might happen, i know some have anti mormon classes around here. so it turned out okay.
but the cool story happened yesterday. it started out bad. elder slaisbury was sick and we were in the morning. then we had an appointment at three that fell through. the road we chose to tract had no houses on it. so it wasn't going well. so we prayed to know where to go. i looked at our map and say a street not to far from us and felt like thats were we should go. so we found a house and found a parking spot, said a prayer and was getting ready to leave a school bus just pulled up behind us. two young girls got off and so we started towards the house, nrevous because the other day we scared two young girld and there dad wasn't to friendly. we asked if we could give them something and one of them went inside and the mom came out. she said, now is not good time. so we were going to leave her with a card for a book of mormon. as soon as she saw the card. the mom said, we were wondering how to get in hold of you. we found a family. so it was a really cool. so that was the highlight yesterday.

well i hope you get better. and not much else i know to say, but get well. and how is dad's back doing? i hope it's better.
well talk to you later.

Elder S. Johnson
