Elder Jacob Johnson in the Provo MTC...........
OLAH MI AMORS! (hello my loves)
Its
been a crazy fun p-day! It's my companions 23rd birthday! We went to a
place called Lion Country Safari! it was the time of my life! I got to
feed a giraffe! yep I said it - I did I did I did! It was so much fun
their tongues are so long and they would wrap around my finger when I
went to give them lettuce! I also got attacked by a bunch of birds....
it was still fun but started to freak me out haha I also made breakfast for
my comp and all the elders today! So I've really just been going going
going today! It's all been worth it though! Jake sounds like he is doing
pretty good. I pray for that kid every night! He says he's happy and that
his comp is awesome so that's a huge blessing. Thank you mom for sending
me a fun little book that was a nice surprise :) I also got a long
letter from Gina which I loved. Would you send me her e-mail its easier
for me to respond that way.
We
had another wonderful meal at a members home Sunday night. mmmm am I
grateful for awesome ward members or what?! Let me just tell you how
awesome our ward is.... Thurs night Sis Doudal and I were going to
appointments when we get a call from a member of the bishopric. He was
calling to let us know that he had seen one of our investigators at the
store and said hi to them and that it was a miracle that he saw her
there. So in our minds we are thinking "how awesome is this, our members
are calling to share miracles with us." Then he goes on to ask if we
had any apts for the end of the night and we said that we were just
getting ready to walk into one and then he says, "we would love to come
with you, we will be there in just a min." So he hung up and as we were
waiting we were like he said we....? who's he with? sure enough when the
car pulled up, the whole bishopric jumps out of the car! We were so
excited! We taught two POWERFUL POWERFUL lessons with them and the
spirit was so strong! We felt like we were with the sons of Mosiah or
with Alma and Amulek as the are walking out from the falling prison
walls! IT WAS AMAZING! I'm so grateful for that experience and what I
learned from it! It gets even better though... as we were walking back
to our cars at the end of the night bishop gave us some money to go buy
ice cream so... we did! What a perfect ending to our night!
This
morning as I had mentioned I made breakfast for everyone and I asked the
elders if they could bring over pancake mix. They said "sure no prob we
have two boxes here" this morning I went to open one of them and there
was a spider web and a LIVE spider just chilling in the box. They will
never hear the end of that one.... elders.... haha.
We
got caught in a huge rain storm yesterday. We started knocking when it
was light rain and said that before the storm hit (because we could see
it coming) we would go back to the car. Well... it came faster than we
expected and we got caught in it! It was huge! We didn't have to run too
far back to our car but we were drenched. Then soaked for the rest of
the day. It was a good time! I was on exchanges too so it made for a
good little adventure. This week we have a packed schedule. Tomorrow we
go on another exchange and have interviews with Pres. Thurs we have our
weekly planning day Fri we have our leadership meeting with Pres and Sis
Anderson and then Sat we are having a mission conference! Yes the whole
mission is getting together. Its about 170 missionaries! There is a 70
coming so it will be a blast!
I'm doing really
well! I truly appreciate all of the love and support that all of you
send my way! Especially you mom and dad! I brag about our family to
everyone here! I LOVE YOU FOREVER! Next week will be a normal p-day for
me I will be emailing on Mon at normal time! I hope all of you have a
fantastic week! Enjoy my fun pics! love love love you!
