Johnson Clan-
It sounds like everyone had a eventful week! So did I, as always!
I am coming up on
my 4 months out here! super crazy! time is going by really fast and i am
loving the mission life! i am so excited for the R.S. broadcast on
Saturday! then we can talk about it the next week :)
I got a letter from Kirsten last week and i was so excited! god
answers prayers! she is the R.S. pres in her ward! I'm so happy for her!
we had a baptism on Sunday! it went so well! Wesley is 18 and he should
be on American idol! his voice is amazing! we have him sing for us every
time we go over to teach him! a lot of the branch members came to the
baptism and its always nice to have support there for them! yesterday
was a great day! i love Sundays! they have always been and will always
be my favorite day of the week! speaking of American idol... when does
david artchletas cd come out? tell me all about it ! i cant wait to hear
it when i get home haha. and the million other songs that come out
within the year and half that i am gone. we go to a place ac called
yogurt land every week and they are always playing music. i love music!
and sense i have been out here i absolutely love the hymns! i have a new
fav every day it seems like. one of our investigators who really wants
to get baptized cant be baptized because he practices voodoo. it sounds
worse than it really is i promise. he says he has good spirits and he
has to take them back to the temple where he got them... which is in Haiti.... and hes not going there for a year. its crazy the lives that
people have. its makes me ever so grateful for mine!
well on a spiritual side i can across a few things that i would
like to share with you that i learned and was reminded of this week. A
lot of our investigators talk about how hard life is and express there
worry of challenges that they are facing. i have been reflecting on life
and the hard things that we all go through. But i have something that
they don't (at least not yet) i have a knowledge of the restored gospel
and the mercy that the Savior is always ready to extend to us. in Alma
38:5 it says "...i would that ye should REMEMBER that as much as ye
shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of
your trials and your troubles and your afflictions and ye shall be
lifted up at the last day." what a promise! i know that as we "... call
upon the name of the Lord, and keep his commandments.." we will be
saved. we will be comforted! i love love love reading ensign conference
addition talks. i find so much guidance and i cant wait for this upcoming
conference. Elder Neil Anderson has said that, "by His grace He will
do for you what you cannot do for yourself." I know that Heavenly Father
will help up through are hard times. He will carry us through our
troubles and he most definitely will lift us up from our afflictions! He
loves us! i sit and ponder about that all the time. Heavenly Father
loves us. individually. He is going to help us when we need it and when
we don't need it! i love the many many things i am learning while i am
out here.
Family, i love you so much. I have never been so grateful for each
one of you. The support and love that you have shown me and continue to
show me is something that i am forever grateful for! I hope that you
all have a wonderful week! i love you and i pray for all of you
everyday! i know that God answers my prayers and that you are all doing
well. The spirit confirms that to me on a daily basis! I look forward to
hearing for you next week :)! LOVE YOU LOTS!
love, sister johnson
