| YOMO You Only Mission Once |
SOOO... like yeah... it's 2016. What? I am always so grateful
for a new year and all that is in store. This year will be quite an
adventure... months in the mission field, a few months with the family, then
starting AND finishing my first semester at school. That's just freaky so let's
not talk about it.
This week was great! Unfortunately Sister Johnson was sick for a
lot of it and with the Holidays we stayed inside a lot. I'm kind of tired of
the blank walls and the same scene from the back window but it's okay! Sister
Johnson is feeling a lot better, I'm not sick (yet) and we have great things
ahead of us this week! Even though we spent a lot of time inside we still were
able to find a new investigator! Her name is Kathy and her daughter is a
convert. She has taken the lessons in the past to understand what her daughter
was getting into and now we are teaching her again. However, we have prayed and
we feel the best way to teach her is through "bible studies" rather
than the pamphlets! So that's exciting! :)
The rest of our investigators: Maria, Adolfo, Jodi, Adam,
Jeremiah, Jorjanna, Abraham, and Isaac are all doing really well! We are so
blessed to be a part of their lives and to spend time in their homes. We love
being able to teach, testify, and invite. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the
greatest blessing. This week I have been able to have a lot of additional study
time and I LOVED IT. I love the scriptures- Specifically the Book of Mormon. I
have been studying and pondering the talks of Howard W. Hunter! I love the
principles he has taught me through the New Testament and the Book of Mormon.
This morning Sister Johnson and I did a study on labor vs.
service. There was a talk by President Monson that mentioned how Christ
labored, Christ loved, and Christ served. The biggest difference is the middle
part. LOVE. Labor turns to service when we love. :)
I love you all. :)
