Hey
everyone! How has all of your week been? As for us missionaries in the Anacostia
Ward, it has been very crazy and hectic. This week is transfers and last
Saturday we found out if we are leaving our not. Well, we have 3 leaving out of
the 7 that are here, so we knew that there were going to be big changes in the
Ward, but we had no idea it was going to be this big. When we got the call out
we found out that every single missionary in the Anacostia Ward is getting
transferred out. I have no idea why this is happening, things are going very
well for the Ward. We have a total of two baptismal dates and increasing amount
of new and potential investigators, but I guess President wants to change
something up. He has been pretty frustrating lately, I'll just leave it at
that.
Anyway this week has been pretty sweet for Elder Paul and I. Towards the beginning of the week we taught our investigator, Nica. She has
been progressing a lot! We taught her the plan of salvation and after the
lesion she was talking about how she wants to be sealed with her new husband
forever in the temple. We were very excited to hear
this from her.
We were also able to pick up a new investigator this week. She was an
investigator before and then she was dropped so we are hoping that she will be
ready this time. Later in the week Elder Paul and I were able to go and check
on tons of less actives and former investigators. We found out that most of
them don't even live there anymore. During checking on these people we
had a police car pull up to us and told us " you know this is a very
dangerous area right?" We replied "yep, we sure do" and then he
told us "okay well stay safe." Haha it was funny. Another funny quote,
I think this was from the same day, was this kid who was about 5 that was outside
an apartment complex where a former investigator lived. He asked us if we
were the police and we told him no, we are church people. Then he told us
"oh you, should teach us how to not cuss" I asked him, "oh do you cuss a
lot?" The little kid said "we cuss a lot!" Haha really funny.
On Sunday during announcements, our Ward Mission Leader told the
body of the priesthood that all the missionaries were leaving and they all were
like what the? Haha it's going to be a crazy transfer.
Thanks for the emails!
Love you guys.
- Elder Johnson
