Ola! So my companion and i have been laughing about the subject of this email for a while now... it may not make any sense to you all... but it is hilarious. one of those inside jokes. But anyway. let me expalin rapido... fastly... that we have a cutting board in our house that i found today going through all the garbage.. there is a thing with missions... you get transferred and you always end up doing a HUGE cleaning job... ugh... but now it is over and its great. But anyway we found this great wooden cutting board that i am super excited to cut my bread with every morning. You all should be happy for me. Also we had this pantry that was full of dust and gunk... but NOW... its a beautiful full pantry. Well not full... it just has the typical missionary amount of food... nothing cough cough... but at least we have a pantry now. And the last but not least... WE HAD A BAPTISM!
Wooo hooo.
So i came into this one for sure. It only makes sense. i left 3 potential baptisms so i came into one.... its kinda fair. But Maribelle is great and she is like having 3 baptisms anyway! She is 16 and super excited about the gospel. Her testimony made me so happy. She said she knows the book of mormon is true...those words... for a missionary... are the greatest! She truly has been reading that book so well and has been praying and asking god and she said she knew. Also it was great because her mom came to the baptism. Her mom is an investigator too but she had a date for the 5th and still has not been to church for 2 weeks so she will have to prepare a little more. we will work with her. But Maribelle is awesome and i am so excited to see her progression.
I have been in the repentance process of having very low expections for my new area. But let me tell you... It has been a week of miracles. This area i incredible!!!!! Sister Park... my awesome new comp... is amazing. she has so much faith! We are both working on hope this month and i have seen that i need to be more optimistic about the future it is so bright. We have so many potential here. We met 2 new investigators this week. Hamilton and Flavio and they both came to church this week. The story of hamilton was great... because we were walking down the street and he saw us... Now when people see us they automatically get this fear inside that we will stop and talk to them... So they walk a little faster or pretend they dont see us.... its great. But anyway he was different because when he saw us he slowed down a little bit... expecting us to talk to him. But.... WE DIDNT. haha we kept walking. Awkward. But then just seconds after that we felt the need to turn around and immedietly we turned around and he was just there waiting for it. haha it was great. And then flavio is awesome too... He answered the door and he said he did not want to talk... but we insisted. The part that did it is when we testifed of jesus christ and HIS church when he finally gave in and let us in.
I am so grateful for this work. Because it is truly the lords. I have seen that especially here in little Sal... we are super blessed because the LOrd NEEDS people here. And we are just being instruments in finding them. he is doing his work.
Well that is it for the week. super fun and funny. thanksgiving consisted of chicken, masked potatos and soup gravy because it wouldnt thicken and we had 30 minutes to cook it.... oh and dad youll love this one. WE made HOMEMADE CORN BREAD. it was amazing. super great thanksgiving. i am thankful fo rall of you. hahaha cheesy
love Sister Johnson
