Week Six :)

Hello!

 

This week has been great! It's had it challenges and it's had it's high points.

We had zone conference on Wednesday and it was a great. We learned the importance of setting goals and getting the members involved in the missionary work.

Sister Joseph and I had some really great experiences this week with missionary work.

We have been trying to figure out where we should go because our area is HUGE and it's hard to plan and know where God wants us to be. We pray every night and every day to know where the Lord would want us to be and it's been really neat to see it work!

The first experience was with a couple named Zoe and Renado. Zoe was interested in the Book of Mormon, but she can't read English. Her husband, Renado thought the church was a joke and didn't have any desire to hear more.

However, when we stopped by to drop of Zoe's libro de mormon, Renado had completely changed. He had some stuff happen and wasn't happy about the consequences of his actions. He asked how it was that we were able to be happy all of the tme. We told him we could share more with him and that it was because of the gospel and how it blesses our families. He agreed to have us come back, but we didn't get to meet with them this week. We are hoping to meet with them this coming week though!

On Thursday night, Sister Joseph and I were planning backup plans for the next day and we both felt impressed to visit a lady named Trisha. Trisha lives in Grimesland which is way out of our area, but the elders had referred us to her. Trisha's husband died about 7 months ago and the sisters tried contacting her then, but she didn't want to have the missionaries over at the time.

So, we didn't know how we would be able to make it out to her because we can only drive so far. We tried calling a sister in the ward and miraculously, she could go! So, we drove to Trisha's and when we got there she was glad to see us, invited us in and told us that she had just been thinking about the missionaries not 15 minutes before we came. She said that she was so glad that we had come and that she had a dream about her coming to church. It was a neat experience and the spirit was so strong.

I know that God reveals to us where he wants us to go and guides us to those who need our help.

We've had a ton of success in the YSA branch too! It's been GREAT!

 

I can't remember if I told you much about where i live, but sister joseph and I live with a member. She is the nicest lady. Her name is Sister Carman and it's just like home.

 

I hope you all are doing well! I love and miss you all. Have a great week!

My time is up!

 

Love,

Sister Johnson
