I'm a MOM!

Well crazy things. First off, I'M TRAINING!!!!!!!! I got called to train a brand new baby missionary! (in mission language, I'm a mom!). So today I go to Barcelona to pick her up! I'll be there all day tomorrow as well and they do this huge ceremony thing where we all eat together (the trainers and trainees) and then they announce who is training who. So we will see! I'll let you know next week! But I'm SUPER excited. Super sad that Hermana Clark is leaving me:(( But it's going to be so fun.

So that's probably the craziest news. Spain is great. I'm loving my time here. This week I had the realization that I can now pick out different accents from different Spanish speaking countries. Obviously the Spaniard accent is the best ;) but that's kinda fun! I've been trying to work on my accent. That's my language goal lately-to speak more like a Spaniard. Good times.

MIRACLE OF THIS WEEK IS MARIA JOSE!!!!!!!!!!! Madre mia she is INCREDIBLE I cannot even BELIEVE this child. She's 13 years old and on Saturday she was up at 1 in the morning not able to sleep so she started the Book of Mormon. And kept reading. And kept reading. AND FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON IN 1 DAY. And oh my goodness. She said that when she finished she just started crying and felt so much warmth, like someone was giving her a hug. And then she heard the words "ya tu sabes que El Libro de Mormon es verdadero" (you know that the Book of Mormon is true). And she told us that now she has a huge desire to get baptized. That is a miracle. That is one of those things missionaries LIVE to hear. And I am just on cloud 9 over here with so much joy that I get to be part of her experience:)))

Lets see what else can I share. Oh I finished the Book of Mormon again this week! Actually the same day that Maria Jose read the whole book. And I LOVE THAT BOOK. It is the word of God. Written by Prophets at the same time as the Bible, but on the other side of the world. It has so many beautiful things about Christ and His teachings. I wish the whole world would just read the Book of Mormon. Even if it's just out of curiousity. It's powerful and beautiful and I know it's true. :)

I love all you people so much! You're the greatest ever! Have the best week!

Love,

Hermana Johnson
