Hello family!
How great is it to hear from you all!
I have been doing very wonderful! Last week I issued a challenge
to make your lives more like Temples. How has that been going?? Please Return
and Report ;)
We had a baptism last week! His name's Jimmy Jr. He's 9 years
old. He's so energetic and crazy, but all went well at the baptism! His father
(Jimmy Sr.) was so emotional and touched it was amazing. A very powerful
baptism. His confirmation ( done by my companion Elder Redd) was very beautiful
as well. The family is pretty crazy, and almost always fighting and squirming,
but all went well at church! They were so behaved it was ridiculous! It's
amazing what the Spirit can do!
I wanted to talk today about Fulfilling our responsibilities. If
we are not fulfilling and magnifying our responsibilities we are throwing away
Celestial Glory. Christ didn't say it was easy, but He DID say it was worth it.
My brothers and sisters, last week I received a revelation that has changed my
life forever. It involved my Patriarchal Blessing, and who I can become. I was
cutting myself short of who I can become, and denying every opportunity to
achieve it because I had the mindset that all would fold out if it was meant to
happen.
Although the Lord does
often work this way, it was not so with my blessing. We have to do our part,
and realize who we can become!!!! This knowledge hit me in the head like a 2x4.
Hello! It was as if the Holy Ghost bonked me on the head and said "Hello
Elder Johnson! Patriarchal blessings aren't guidelines or recommendations! They
are prophesies according to our faithfulness!"
I felt about this big .
I learned that I need to fulfill my responsibilities! I learned,
it is more than just a job that comes with a fancy name tag. I am fulfilling my
role for God, by helping others understand God's role for them!
With love,
Elder Johnson
