Mom Mom Mom!!!
This week was great! What'd we do for New Year's Eve? SLEPT!!! We went to the temple, which was wonderful! BUT... this sista only got like 5 hours of sleep so it was a little fuzzy, but it's always so great and I always learn so much! It's like the temple is designed to teach you exactly what you need to know. The Spirit is there so strongly! Can't wait til ya'll can come with me :)
Yeah, so we were SUPER tired from getting up at 4:45, but we went shopping and I may have went a little crazy, but new year new clothes right? I got this aqua cardigan and I noticed Hermana Dorian got the same one and I was like- you better not be wearing that to zone conference on Friday. She was like "I sure am." And I was like "well... I am too." Welp, we totally matched to zone conference! We thought we were super funny and erryone just looked at us weird. But it was kinda hilarious. We're like "If the Elders can match, why can't we??"
Transfers are in like- 3 weeks. I'm 99.9% sure Hna Dorian is leaving and I'm taking over the area. A LITTLE nervous but I'm just praying that the Lord will just teach me what I need to know these next few weeks.
Miracle of the week: The boyfriend of Janie, our awesome "eterna-gator", who's like almost always drunk, came to church this sunday! I turned around in sacrament meeting and there he was! With Janie and the girls. I was like - Whaaaa??? It was seriously a miracle. He's super cool and quiet when he's not drunk. We may or may not be a bit too excited about it "Ohmygosh what if he joins the church and they can be an eternal family!?" But you know, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
Oh my gosh, other miracle of the week. I was looking through our area book and found this page called "Former potentials" aka people that were like "Sure! We'll listen!" But then they never got a hold of them again. ANYWAY, we decided to go try them. We knocked on this door, and this 13 year old kid answers and was like super cool! I could hear Dora the Explorer on his tv and was like "Are you watching Dora?" He's like "I'm bored okay!!" Hahah. So we left him a restaration pamplet so he wouldn't be so "bored." Another day we came back and taught him the restauration! And he was like "Did you guys know that they took parts out of the bible?" we're like YEAH! And we showed him a scripture in the book of Mormon where it talks about that. Then we invited him to be baptized when he knew these things were true. He looked at us straight in the eye, and said "Yes, I will." Dahh! It was so cool! Such a tender mercy. he's so awesome. The thing is... found out we actually have to have permission from his parents to teach him, so we're praying to have them find us at home.
Hermana Moreno's home!!!! She's the member who's brother was sick in Utah. She's back and her brother is getting better. His bishop actually called her and we had to translate from english to spanish which was really hard but super fun.
It's been a pretty good week! I'm definitely in a "I wish I was better than I am" mode right now, which is never good. I guess something I've learned on my mission or have tried to learn is to be patient and just grow in the way and at the speed the Lord wants me to. And I know that the Lord blesses those that wait.
The church is true!!! The Book of Mormon is the best book in the world! I know that the Savior loves us no matter what. And I'm so grateful for Him and His sacrifice.
Love you all!!!
Hermana Johnson
