We went to California from July 17 to July 23 for Tanner's baseball tournament. The day we left, our neighbor sent us a text letting us know we received a letter from New Zealand! Zach wrote this letter on July 14.
Dear Family,
I am still doing great and I am having an amazing time. It gets so cold here at night. I have the worst sore throat and runny nose! I have put on almost 10 pounds here...I haven't even left the MTC yet, it is awesome! I leave Wednesday at 8 am. I am so excited. I have learned so much and I cannot wait to teach some real peeps.
There is one Elder here that I love. He is a local Maori stud. I seriously consider him one of my best friends, his name is Elder Ormond.
The MTC by night when we're all excused is a freakin' party! I go and buy the Tongan and Samoan Elder's candy because they are poor...I love them-they are the nicest most amazing people I have met. They have only learned English for four weeks!! They gave me a lava lava and asked if I would always remember them. That will make you feel good!
I miss you guys so much and think about you every day. I hope you guys are doing good. I want you to know that I am happy! I have the Spirit all the time and it helps me not get home sick. I miss hanging out with you guys! I miss talking with everybody- it already seems like forever! But, I have great friends here who keep me going when I get down.
I love you guys and Chewie--give him a treat for me!
Love you so much--
Love your son and brother,
Elder Johnson
