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...

Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone! I hope y'all had an incredible Christmas. I did. It was definitely weird not be home and for there to be no snow on Christmas, but this week was awesome. First, the funniest, strangest thing that I have ever experienced happened this week. On Christmas Eve, we were going around delivering Christmas cookies to some of our friends. About a month ago we met this dear old lady named Marcie, and we decided to take some cookies to her. Sister Johnson has incredibly good intentions, but she is also new to this whole driving in Harrison, AR thing and is terrible at directions. So, we go up to knock on the door, and this old man walks out. We ask if Marcie is there, and he looks really confused and says, "My wife?" We're like, yeah. So we go in, talk to this old guy we don't know. I'm confused at this point because I was pretty sure Marcie didn't have a husband. Then, this old lady (the guy's wife) comes in, and she is definitely  not  Marci...

Merry Christmas! (Almost)

  MERRY CHRISTMAS (almost)! ❄❄❄ What a beautiful week. The highlight by far was our lesson with Cindy. Aww, I LOVE her! It's kinda crazy we've only known each other for a month-- I'm sure we'll be friends for life. Sister Beasley was visiting for the day, and we taught Cindy the plan of salvation. We asked her what she thinks her purpose in life is, and she said it is to know God and help others know God. Wow. It's amazing how simple the God's plan is-- all we need to do is bring Christ into our life through faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end, and we can do exactly that. I know God loves Cindy so much and wants her to live with Him forever. She wants that too. I asked if she wants to be baptized, and she said YES!!! WOOHOO!!! I am so excited for her.  I love celebrating Christ's birth this Christmas season. He is who makes second chances and knowing God and this whole plan possible.  Merry Christmas!! Have so much fun c...
