Because I Have My Mom
This week, we had one
of the coolest experiences ever. With Rosa. We were with her, and
she was having kind of a hard time. And she said that when she prayed about all
of this, if Joseph Smith was a prophet, and about the Book of Mormon, and
baptism, and everything, that she felt good. But that she wants something
more. Anyway, I ended up bearing my testimony about the importance of
mothers. And how incredibly grateful I am that I have my mother.
That my whole life I have been raised in the Gospel, the true church.
That my mom read with us, and prayed with us, and taught us in every way
possible that God loves us. And how I am the person I am because of the
testimony of my mother. And so God will answer the prayer for the need of
mas firmeza [more firmness], because
she needs it, and her kids need it. And so my sweet comp suggested that
we could pray, with all of those questions, together. And she did.
It was such an incredible beautiful thing. Rosa was asking so
sincerely and specifically if it all was true. And the Spirit was so
thick. She said, “I want to be a part of Your group. I want to
follow You. And I want to know I am following You.” And the Sprit
was testifying so hard that it was. We were all crying, and we got up
hugging each other and it was so sweet.
In other news, in Talara,
I don’t know how, but I am very well known. And everyone calls me La
Johnson. Which of course, I love. Soy La Johnson. Even though my
comp is Hermana Gomez. Anyway, just thought you would like that.
Hey, love you guys.
Keep up the great work. And tell your mom how much you love her.
She deserves it.
La Johnson
