"Hello hello
hello!
HOLY COW! General
Conference was AMAZING. I learned sooo much. I'm so excited to begin
implementing the things I learned. This last week was fantastic! We are really
trying hard to become more like the Savior. We are trying to find with Faith,
and Listen to the Holy Ghost in how we should go about serving the Lord's
Children here in the Berwick Ward. I sure have loved serving here with Elder
Andersen, and I am so very very excited to be serving with him for another
transfer. I really love him, and I want him to succeed here.
I really have had
many prayers answered concerning Elder Andersen. We really want to work hard
here. Which is something I love and cherish. Elder Andersen has a powerful
desire to serve with all of his heart. Which has truly helped me to seek
knowledge, to be knowledgeable, and then to apply. I sure love serving here with
Elder Andersen. I am very privileged to be serving with him for another
transfer. I love him.
Heavenly Father has
truly answered so many of my prayers. I love Him, especially for the answers I
do not see yet. I love Him.
Our area has been
making slow progress, but better progress. We really want to focus on Less
Actives and finding new Investigators through formers and potentials as well as
contacting 10 new people each day. We have not done terribly well at it, but we
will repent and do better.
I love the Lord, I
know He truly Lives. We have had many Spiritual blessings in helping others
come unto Christ. I learned that we must be COURAGEOUS and bold. We must Love
in full discipleship.
Last night we went to
contact a former investigator, Her friends were home, Christine and her husband
Derren. They listened in a little as we spoke briefly. Little did we know that
Christine was the daughter of a preacher and has a vast knowledge of the
Savior. We kept speaking with her. Elder Andersen began leaving the door, but I
knew better than leaving without an invitation left. I stood my ground and
Later that night
while leaving, we had placed 2 Book of Mormons, and received their willingness
to learn more. We didn't give up even after that, we stayed a little longer. We
ended up talking about the Lord, and the need for missionary work. We almost
received 2 referrals that night. Only held back because of her own unsurety of
her parents receptiveness. It was beautiful, miracles do happen. I know it. We
just need to be courageous, and stick around long enough to let people have a
chance at the Gospel.
Brothers and Sisters,
The Gospel is true. The Plan of Happiness is REAL. We have the Gospel again!
The world 's cure for it's darkness and lack of pure love, Is here. It is with
us. It is in our love for others, it is in our love for the Savior, It is in
those 3 hours of church, and in those hours we use to serve and perform our
callings. It is in the Book of Mormon you don't read that is sitting in your
living room as household decoration. You heard me, read it ;) haha.
The Gospel of pure
joy, love and peace is HERE! WE HAVE IT! Oh goodness! How happy and joyful I am
that we get to listen to the Lord's Prophet and His Apostles, and Teachers.
HOLY COW I love this Church. I love it sooooooooooooooooooo much. I want to
work my butt off and forever live worthy of the companionship of the Holy
Ghost. I love Him, and I want to make Him Proud. I love you all : Thank you for
your prayers and encouragement and love. I'm praying for you all, that we may
succeed, and that we will not be sifted as wheat in the "whirlwinds of
this world" :) As humbly, as I can possible muster. I testify, that the
Lord Jesus Christ, lives and he loves us, may we all remember this beautiful
truth. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Elder Johnson"
