He is the Gift
It's 2015! Unbelievable! And yayyyy,
it is really neat to see "He is the Gift" up in Times Square!!! :-)
Last week was a fun week- even
though Sister Orantes was sick for most of the week! She had a really bad
throat infection (apparently it was strep because she didn't have a fever, so
we just called it a throat infection) and then got a cold after that. So we
were in for a lot of the week. But by the end of the week we were out and made
good use of the time we had. We also had our New Year's eve party with our zone
on Wednesday night! We watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 and The Grinch. 'Twas
a good time! We also got to watch Meet the Mormons again Thursday morning for
our Visitor's Center training. I tell ya, that movie is so good!!! It's so
inspiring and a perfect missionary tool. It will be at the Mesa Visitor's
Center, so bring friends to see it!!!!! It will only be in Visitor's Centers
for the next 6 months if you want to see it!
We also a few lessons last week with
Th***, who is A-MAZ-ING. She's already read the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great
Price and Relief Society manual book thing?!?! What the heck?? And she already
pays her tithing and fast offerings and is already wanting to prepare for the
temple even though we haven't even taught her about temples yet!! So we are in
heaven with her. She bore her testimony yesterday in church and told everyone
she's getting baptized on January 18! Before she went up she gave us this
dreaded look of death. She was nervous haha. It was so funny.
Some other fun things last week - we
went to a tiny Brazilian cafe in Berkeley and met the owner, Pedro! Super funny
guy! He's had a lot of return missionaries from Brazil go there so he knows who
missionaries are. We meet the coolest people in Berkeley and at the Visitor's
Center from all over the world. It's so fun! Also, Sister Orantes and I for the
new year are making goals to eat healthier. Today we bought a bunch of fruits
and veggies to make green smoothies and have healthy, easy dinners. We are
excited! Yay for a New Year to start fresh. It's also a great time to make
spiritual goals! I'm still working on mine haha, but I am excited to figure out
what I can do to be a better servant to the Lord. He seriously puts miracles
right in front of us all the time and I'm so grateful for Him.
Love you all!!! Have a fabulous
week!
Sister Johnson
