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...

I Trust God

  Guys, going home from your mission is dumb. I'm flying home in 11 days! (I'm speaking in church on the 28th if anyone wants to come 😊 ). I've started saying goodbye to people, and it breaks my heart.  That being said, the theme of my week (and probably the theme of my life) is that I trust God. I trust Him so much and will follow Him anywhere-- even home. I know He has a plan for me.  It brings me so much joy to see people I love showing their trust in God through their actions. Let me tell you about some I saw this week.:) Brittany is so brave and has such faith. We've been teaching her for a while, but she actually lives closer to Fayetteville, so we had to introduce her to the elders there. We had SUCH a good lesson together and read in the Book of Mormon and had a tour of the church. When we get to the chapel, the Spirit was strong and we talked about the sacrament. Brittany has a little bit of social anxiety, but we invited her to church there with the eld...
