Hello Everyone!
Thank you for your support and your emails.
This past week has been pretty good. We have been able to get to know the Ward
a little bit better and we are seeing blessings from that. We have been focusing
a lot on getting to know people so we can find members that will fit best with
our investigators so they can start to fellowship them and it is starting
to work out.
The highlight from this week was
Stephen being confirmed. It was great being able to to be a part of that
circle. Elder Rowley was able to be the voice which is a great experience being
so young into his mission.
Another highlight happened Friday night.
We were tracting a townhouse complex and on the very last house of the night
we knocked on a less active lady's house who has not been to church in years.
She is the only member in her family and she feels like she needs to starting
coming back for her kids sake. We have an appointment with her tonight so
hopefully everything will go well there and we will be able to start teaching
the family and also get her coming back to church. We are very excited for this
opportunity.
Another exciting thing that happened
this week was we got this call from a lady who used to have a member live with
her. She wanted us to change some light bulbs in her house so we went over and
got that taken care of. We started making small talk and we found out that her
husband died about 5 months ago and she is still having a hard time with it. Well, we told her that we have a special message about life after death. She seemed
pretty interested so we have an appointment set up with her for later on in the
week. It is going to be interesting because she does not have a Christian
background at all. She is some form of Buddhist. We are very excited to see
where it leads to.
Everything that happened this week just
shows me how much Heavenly Father is in charge of his work. If he had no part
in this then we would just be wasting our time because nobody would listen. I
am very grateful to be on his side and being able to participate in his work. I
know I am blessed just to be apart of this great work. Have a great week
everyone!
Love Elder Johnson
