Bem Dia!! Well, I´ve arrived at 9:37 this morning!!  I was actually scared I was going to miss my flight because everything was delayed!!  All the computers crashed for delta airlines so my entire schedule was changed!  Luckily, I ended up flying on American Airlines to Dallas then Sao Paulo, and was able to meet lots of cool people along the way.  At 7pm I departed from the airport after taking pictures with sister Mati (who was working at the airport that day) :) On my first flight I had an amazing experiance with this hispanic woman and her 4 children who didnt know an ounce of english.  /throughout the flight we spoke on and off about where we were going (I made sure to clarify that I knew little spanish).  I shared my snack on the plane with her kids, talked about my fear of flying, and smiled...A LOT!  Once the plane landed, the woman begged me to help her find her next flight and even though I had less than 45 minutes to catch my next flight I grabbed her bags and yelled "vamanos"!  It must have looked weird seeing a white guy in suit and tie running with pink bags getting chased by a bunch of kids!  Within 5 minutes, I found her gate and was hugging and shaking all of their hands good-bye.  Along my way to Sao Paulo, I met a returned missionary named Justin, a missionary named Elder Mooney, and brother and sister Anderson!!  The flight was sooooo long...especially because I had a splitting headache the entire way.  I remember praying to God to not let me loose my resolve and that he would strengthen me in my trials because I know there are plenty more to come!  Now I´m at the MTC which is beautiful and full of brothers and sisters excited to serve!  I hope you enjoyed my letters!!
Love,
Elder Johnson






















PS I can only send letters out of the mtc...
