Oh my goodness! So yall.. idk what just happened but... i am in PRAIA. I left paradise :( i am SOOOO sad to leave santo antao. That place was ON POINT for reallll. I am super sad to be leaving it. Sister Kohlert will do great work there with her new companion. a weird thing though.. they took out the elders and put the sisters there. So sister kohlert will basically white wash my old area with her new companion. It is funny. her new comp is the one i switched with really. i am with her old comp... SISTER COELHO... She is portuguesa and speaks english like a boss. i hope my portuguese will get like hecka better. it BETTER. haha i will esforcar. So also just a little detail.. Sister coelho is sister training leader... so yes. that means that i am a sister training leader now.
UMMMM yeah... i know right. Sister Training Leader... question mark.
So like let me tell the story. So like saturday we were at the church after a zone meeting we had and we get this call from president. he taks to sister kohlert and she gives me the sign that says ^sister j... youre gone^so i knew it was coming. i was basically crying on the phone to president. So then he said you will be going to praia and your companion will be sister training leader... So here i am thinking cool. she will be sister training leader and i will just be here companion! haha i didnt get the point that i was sister training leader.
so i go to praia and everything and then i get in the bus with the Assitents and they are telling me how cool it is that i will be doing trainings in zone meettings and all that. so i was like what (question mark) And then they were like yeah... and i was like i thought only my companion was sister training leader. well they told me that was not true. i then realized... oh crap. hahaha so that is cool! Didnt really know but know and i am scared out of my skirt to be honest.
But it will be fine.
The sad part is we left sergio and irene. Ohhh my goodness sergio was not good that day... he was pretty drunk so i dont think he remembered much. but then my dear irene was bawling. then i couldnt hold it in and started crying a lot too. they are going to be fine with the other sisters but that was hard to leave such an amazing family who are going to be all i white... temple white one day!
But the ward gave a great goodbye. they all seem to love me a lot more that i am leaving... hahaha just kidding. kinda... but i do love all of them and we had great times.
The new advetures in praia have began. there is such a steriotype about praia. it is where people get robbed and it is where people get burnt by the hot sun... and all sorts of terrible things. hahaha but all the people who serve here love it and i know i will. i was so against it. but i know we are going to do great things and get these numbers up. i was honestly super super surprised about the number difference.... like i was in the PROMISED LAND. haha but everyone says here is the promised land but in reality i was in the true promised land. but no worries. me and sister coelho are going to make this the promised land. even with our extra duties. being sister leader in praia is like assitent to the president sister... hahahah it is so funny. but apparently we get a lot of surprises. and you all know i am NO good with surprised. i loved being succluded in my little island and now i am with all the action. i am going to have to keep the patience and keep the focus and stay obedient and you know... all the good stuff. but prayers are going to be so needed right now. i know the atonement is real. i know i have felt so much peace while i even feel like outside of myself. but all will work out. uncomfortablness is like what gives us chance to change.
happy anniversary mommy and daddy. i love you!
Love Sister johnson
