This
week we did a lot of member visiting to get to know them. Literally ate
at least 2 times every single day this week in the house of members.
Which means a lot of rice. But it's so yummy I'm a big fan haha.
Also,
city missionary work is a lil different than those lil pueblos that I
was in before. We do a LOT more street contacting and a lot more walking
and less door knocking. Which is fun i love street contacting. And I
don't know what it is about this place, but almost everyone says yes! I
feel like it's such a lil blessing to have been sent here. It's called
the land of miracles and I feel like I've already seen so many tender
mercies. Heavenly Father takes care of His children!
Probably
the happiest thing from this week was meeting Rita! She's getting
married so she can get baptized on the 27th! She's literally perfect and
has so much faith and loves the church and the gospel and knows it's
true and is sharing it with her family. So exciting!
Also
I came to a realization this week that the world needs to have a better
understanding of what exactly is the book of Mormon. I realized that,
before my mission, I didn't even fully understand what it was. (Claro, I
LOVED it and knew it was true, but I didn't have it clicked in my brain
the simplicity of it). It's literally just a record (like the bible) of
people (in the Americas) who lived (durinf thr time of thr people in
the bible) and listened to prophets and made mistakes sometimes and were
righteous and had spiritual experiences. Nothing scary. Nothing bad.
Just that simple. And we literally come to know God better by reading
it. We see how He works with His sons and daughters. Ah I love it. It's
such a good book. Read it! And tell people what it is and where it came
from!
I love missionary work! I love you all!
Love,
Hermana Johnson
Hi hi!
Wow mama that sounds crazy. Sounds like you're doing amazing things over there! You famous mom!
Well
I'm doing well. I'm homesick for Catarroja. I keep thinking I see
people from there in the streets and have to remind myself that I'm not
there. Or I see the train go by and have major flashbacks and have to
remind myself that it's a different train. Really kind of depressing
actually haha. But I couldn't ask for a better place to be sent to. It's
gold over here. People are SUPER poor, more than I've ever seen in my
life I think, and they're all cute and Latino and accept the gospel!
This
week we did a lot of member visiting because we're trying to focus on
finding through members and getting referalls. Which has been fun, the
members are amazing. I've eaten so much rice in the last week though
haha. I love it. Rice and chicken has become one of my favorite meals.
Who knew that would ever happen! Haha it's so good. But anyways they're
great. And love so well.
And we have an
investigator getting baptized! She's actually the same situation as
Denisse who I taught in catarroja. She's the Brazilian who's been being
taught for over and year and would get baptized today if she was
married. Rita is in the same situation BUT she is talking to someone
TODAY so she can get married before the 27th and be baptized on the
27th! And it's actually going to happen! They've talked to each other
and they've figured it all out! So I'm so excited for that. She's great.
I feel like that's a little tender mercy from heavenly father.
And
hermana Dow is great. She's so Canadian haha it's hilarious. And she's
so nice. She's actually literally Erin Denton. In every way. Which is
perfect, the perfect companion. We aren't quite best friends yet, but
we'll get there. We get along super easily, we're both very easy going
so decisions are hard to be made haha but she's an amazing missionary.
Also
this week we called all the ckmaonjonships of hermanas in our zone and
talked to them. There's one whose number are SUPER bad and apparently
they have a "bad area". So they're our focus right now. It's kinda
interesting being on this side of everything. The zone leaders called us
Saturday night and were like "How are the hermanas in the zone?" And we
just went companionship by companionship and told them all the details
of their lives. Kinda weird. Not really sure yet the purpose of all
these things. And it makes me wonder what's been said about me my whole
mission... interesting. But eh whatevs.
What
else. OH I LOVE being so close to barcelona. We're literally 10 minutes
away. People consider this Barcelona. So today we went shopping on the
Ramblas (where the tourist attack happened) and went to the bunkers
which is a mountain thing where you can see the view of all of
Barcelona. Amazing. I love love love Barcelona. Love it. So that's
happy.
This week we have a
family home evening in the mission home! President does one every month
where all the missionaries who live within an hour of the mission home
can bring an investigator and enjoy a family home evening in the mission
home! So I'm PUMPED!
Well that's all I've got I think. I love you people!!!
