Miracles
Yo!
Oh man. You sit down here and all of a sudden can't
remember what you ate for breakfast this morning, much less what happened this
week.
Ann!! We got Ann back! What a miracle.
But, she got fired, so she is flying back to Nebraska on Friday. And
we are incredibly heartbroken. She was like, "Right when I had
decided to get baptized here in the next couple weeks, they booked me a
ticket." Anyway, but she is totally converted and getting baptized,
and the temple is her goal, so it doesn't matter where she goes. We are
so glad she is doing so well. She said she is considering flying back
when I get my visa so she can get baptized here and say bye. Boy, that
was about as easy to say no to as it is to say no to Donna Loveland's butt
cake. I've never done that, though, so I was unprepared and had to try
not to cry. She is the beautiful Asian making a weird face at me.
Sonny had such a breakthrough this week!! He has read
the Book of Mormon through twice, and is now starting to learn how to actually
gain something from it. He is so amazing!! He is starting to
believe that God can forgive him, and it's amazing how he is changing because
of it.
We had this great lesson with 5 of our investigators and 7
members. It was so cool. Demitreus turned into a changed man!
We are so excited to see where he goes.
We are in the best ward in the northern hemisphere. It
is so cool to see the way the culture is starting to change! Missionary
work is becoming cool! Ha, who would've thought? We had this
amazing ward FHE, and it seemed to be very effective. People are really
starting to catch the vision, and it's so exciting :)
We have to drop like 10 investigators. This is a first
for both of us. Wish us luck!!
Oh! We are getting a third companion! Isn't that
fun? She is a transfer older than me, and she is from Austria! We
can't wait. That means they are hoping my visa comes in this transfer, I
think?
There was a craaaazzy
storm. You will receive the picture of it. We had a few
investigators come to Pioneer Days, so we were all having such an enjoyable
time. You know how I love catastrophes? Heavenly Father loves me
and my companion so much that He flooded North Las Vegas in July :)
Heavenly Father is
really trying to teach me to trust Him. It's pathetic how I have to
relearn this lesson over and over and over again, but I am so glad.
Trusting Him enough to put Him first in all situations because you know
He will make up the rest if you do, and in trusting Him enough to keep all the
rules because you know that His way is a lot better than yours and that He will
prepare a way for you to do so, and in trusting Him enough to not be worried
what hemisphere you are in because whichever you are in will definitely be the
best one for you and those around you. I try to remember every single day
how much He loves me and what I mean to Him, and then I have to make a
conscious effort to remember it, and then I can start to trust Him the way I
should. I know that the Savior not only can change the hearts of these
people, but He also wants to so desperately. We just have to let Him
through us, and hope they let Him too.
Anyway, keep up the
good work. I love you all so much. Thank you for sustaining me.
I wish blessings upon all y’all’s heads!
LOOOOOOOVE YOU!
BYEEE!
Sister Johnson
