So Happy!


Good morning everyone!
As you can tell from the subject, I am so happy. This is my 4th day at the MTC, and I love it. Once I got here, all my nervousness went away. I know with all my heart this is where I'm suppose to be. 

A big highlight are the wonderful people here. My companion, Sister Fowler, is so kind and spiritual and fun and just what I need. I'll attach pictures. My district is Awesome. It's 3 sets of sisters and 3 sets of Elders. We sisters are all going to Arkansas, but our elders are going to Vegas! It's quite sad cause we have some quality district unity. Our teachers are also super great. I've learned a lot. 

Probably my biggest spiritual experience was when we met people the first night that we were going to teach. I felt such overwhelming love for them, even though I just met them. It helped me to understand more than ever that Heavenly Father loves all of His children So Much. He loves me. I'm grateful He helped me feel that love for some of His children. I can't wait to go to Arkansas and meet the people there. 

I have also had lots of fun. I launched my acting career in some high quality skits on being disciplined with technology. We got ice cream Wednesday. We're going to have a district Safety Zone videos watch party later today. We went to the temple today!! Best of all, we watched President Nelson's birthday party last night!! It was incredible. If you haven't seen it, you should. I'm sure it's on lds.org. There is such great music. 

I love you all! I love Christ and His gospel. Have an incredible week. 

Love,

Your favorite Sister Johnson

It's Good to be Home

  Missions are hard. You give your whole self every single day for a long time. You have to do scary things like talk to people you don't really know and have major changes in your life every 6 weeks and tedious things like create workshops plan. Yesterday, Sister Maxfield and I were both hangry and trying to plan a lesson and just started laughing at ourselves cause we were struggling so hard! But there are also times of complete, full joy that I can't even describe that makes everything else so worth it.  Cindy got baptized Saturday morning, and it was one of the most wonderful things I've ever been a part of. She's gone through a lot to get to where she is now and has a lot of hard things yet to come, but she is truly converted to Jesus Christ and cares more about following Him then anything else. There is such a light about her! After the baptism, she said she felt this weight lifted off her that she didn't even know was there. In church, she bore her testim...

Member Work Works

  Guys, let me tell you about my week. God is a God of miracles. He leads us to people we can help or leads them to us, and it is humbling to watch. We started teaching 4 people this week, all through their member friends. Aw, it makes my heart happy.  Last Sunday in ward council, our ward was all excited about a lady named Helen. She had just moved in and used to meet with missionaries in the past. We knew nothing about her, so we talked to some other sisters and Buck was a hero and got us on a video call with past missionaries and friends that met with her before. One of her member friends set up an appointment for us, and we went over to meet her. She is really sweet and says she wants to get baptized but isn't ready to commit to anything. But God's hand was definitely in all of this because Helen just moved in with her niece Michele. Michele is going through a lot-- way a lot. She is a strong women. We started talking and connected hard. The Spirit was there. She said sh...

God's Not Done with You

I hope you are all doing well through this crazy time. You're in my thoughts and prayers.  This week I discovered the new theme song for my life. It's called God's Not Done with You by Tauren Wells. This is a very "dynamic time" (as my mission president says). Everyone is being affected in drastic ways! But I know that God is not done with you. His work is not slowing down, and your role in it isn't either. One of my sisters shared a quote with me this week that helped me to understand this.  "The standard of truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done."   ...
