Okay wehre do I even start? This week was SO GREAT!
Monday night we went and saw this lady named Moniqua. She is kinda crazy- I mean, I understand why- but she's very much a "tell you how it is" person. We brought this really awesome couple from our ward to her house, and she got so upset about it! She was like telling them in the middle of our lesson "The missionaries can't just bring people into my house. Just random strangers. I don't like that. This is my house. I don't even know you." Aahaaah. It was really intense. The members were CHAMPS though and pretty much defended us super well ( and with the help of the Spirit, for real) and by the end of the lesson we were best friends. Her husband is super cool and chill and he read in the BoM and really wants to go to church, and their kids are SUPER cute.
Tuesday was Hermana Dorian's last day. We went and saw this lady with a "date" but she wasn't there. Surprise! Her husband was there (Which was her main excuse of not coming to church) We taught him and he really liked it! Miracles! We also got fed a thousand times. Seriously. But it was so good. Excpet we had this cactus soup, which was delicious, until I found a dead coackroach in it. Meeeh. That was interesting. Picked it out and ate the rest of the soup though! The things you do on missions....
Then we had this "Brilliant idea" to have a reverse lesson with Janie. So we cooked them dinner, and they taught a lesson. Actually it was a super cool idea! Right? Except we let them pick the topic. Guys. We read Revelations chapter 11. What. the. heck? Hahah. We read it, in Spanish, and then they were lik e"what'd you learn?" Hahah. We're like "uhm... be prepared for the second coming!" It was really cute though.
Wednesday was transfer meeting. My companion: Hermana Pimentel! From Highland Utah! She is literally so legit, and funny, and crazy, and an awesome teacher. I've never felt so much on the "same page" as anyone else in my mission so far. Very much a teaching to needs missionary. I have been praying for her for like- since last transfer! And seriously, prayers are answered. It's awesome.
We've been teaching like crazy. It's been awesome. My favorite part of the week though was sunday. Antonio came to church. He gets married this Saturday. I just want to have a big faith push to help him be baptized. But we can't make him do something he doesn't want to do. I just - dah, I'm just afraid he'll turn into an eterna-gator if he doesn't get baptized soon. We also had Alex and Brandon come - they are so cute. Alex is twelve, and last week was fast and testimony meeting. He asked if he could go up. So he went up!!! He was like "Hi, my name is Alex and I know that the Book of Mormon is true." The Spirit was SO STRONG. I seriously almost started crying. Then he gave a little shout out to the missionaries. Haha. And his mom's health. I don't know it was really cute and he was so nervous. It seriously was like the biggest hug from Heavenly Father ever. Then the member we went out with that helped us with the crazy investigator that didn't want them in her house got up and testified about missionary work! And how we have no need to fear cuz the Lord is on our side. Then our little member AV, who's 13, got up and seriously bore one of the strongest sweetest testimonies of my life. IT was SO cute! Such a good meeting yesterday.
I know - I KNOW that the Lord answers prayers. That He loves us. That miracles happen. That we don't have to be more than we are, because His grace is sufficient. I know that this church is true with all my heart, and I'm so grateful to be part of this amazing work.
Les quiero muchisimo!!!
Hermana Johnson
PS- We ride by a Baptist church sign every day and now it says: Be an organ donor: Give your heart to Jesus!
