Yay what a happy
week! I got to skype home and see my cute family-I love those people.
Happy mothers day to all you cutie moms :))
Oh man this week. So to start, ALEX IS GETTING BAPTIZED ON MAY 27!!!!!
For real this time haha. There's such a change in him that this time I
really know it'll happen. So in those two weeks where we had lost him,
he started smoking again and was out partying every night and then ended
up not being able to find work and didn't have food or anything. Life
kind of went downhill for him and he felt embarrassed so that's why he
didn't call us. But then he finally did and when we met with him we had a
big conversation about what the gospel will mean for his life and the
changes that he will have to make. And he committed to change! And he
committed to be baptized! So we're super excited for him. :)
ALSO
Alex took us to his taekwando class hahaha that was the best time of my
life-literally still sore haha. It was so fun though. Who knew my first
taekwando class would be in Spain! We made friends will all the people
in his class and invited them to our english classes that we teach and
they were super interested in why two Americans were there doing
taekwando as missionaries. So we had good talks haha.
ALSO!!!!!!
So remember Ricardo who got baptized a couple weeks ago? Alright get
ready for this. So one of his miracles was that in the exact same week
that we found him, he was in the process of moving out and not living
with his girlfriend anymore. So that was great that we didn't have to
deal with that haha. Her name's Arancha and she does not like us haha.
So we decided we'd change that, and we went to her house and dropped off
cookies for her and actually ended up talking to her for an hour! It
was just a casual conversation that led to gospel topics. She was super
nice, we didn't push anything though. BUT THEN GUESS WHAT HAPPENED!!!!
SHE WENT TO SEE RICARDO AND TOLD HIM THAT SHE LIKED US AND WE WERE
DIFFERENT THAN SHE THOUGHT AND THEY TALKED AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET
MARRIED AND SHE WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just found
that out today and we are literally DYING of happiness at this moment.
So we're going to teach her this week:)))
Also
the other greatest thing this week was our branch had a BBQ! I don't
know why, but that was the most fun thing literally ever. There were
TONS of people there, we had investigators there, less actives came, it
was a huge success. And it was so fun for me to walk around and talk to
everyone! That was my first moment where I left Hermana Sperry and we
each were talking to different people and I was able to have
conversations in Spanish!!!!!! I still don't understand EVERYTHING, but I
pick up enough that I can figure out what people are saying. It was so
good haha I felt so good.
It's
been a really great week. :) I love being a missionary and I love the
things I'm learning. Some of my favorite times have been the hours that I
get to study the gospel and discuss it with others. The gospel of Jesus
Christ is perfect and it's for everyone. No matter who you are, what
your life has been like, what experiences you've had, what you've done,
the gospel is for you. Because God wants all of his children to return
to him, he's given us a way to do it! And thanks to the gospel, we know
exactly what we need to do to be worthy to return to him. So keep doing
what you're doing and read the scriptures and pray and repent daily:))) I
love you all!
I love and miss everyone. I hope all is going super well and you all had the happiest mothers day:))
Love!
Hermana Johnson
