GETTING READY FOR TURKEY DAY!!!
"This is how your Dad likes to eat pumpkin pie!"
Happy Turkey Week!
Yes I did get the packages! Thank
you!! And yes I will be getting a Thanksgiving dinner at a members home - but,
the food you sent me will be great for when I'm craving leftovers :) So thank
you again for sending them to me!! You da bomb!
Woohoo, I'm excited for Chandler
High! I hope they win! That's so cute about Missy and Fuzzell. I miss those
furr balls! Everytime I see a kitty I just wanna go up a squeeze it! But I
don't so that I don't get a disease.
Another great week over here though!
Went on two more exchanges this week. The Lord really helps me a lot on
exchanges. Well He has to, or else I will fail haha. It is so cool to see all
the other sisters in their own areas and elements though. On Tuesday Sister
Wang (the one who I live with) came with me to Berkeley and we have a lot of
great lessons. She is super fun, cute and a ray of sunshine! We had a lot of
fun in Berkeley. On Thursday I went to Lafayette with Sister Hsu, who is also
from Arizona! We sang for some elderly people, which was really fun and such a
spiritual boost. They have really tender hearts and cried at every song we
sang. I just love those people! We also had an awesome first lesson with a
woman and her husband who have been searching for the right church for years.
They came to a members home - an awesome couple in the Lafayette ward, and
another member came as well. I was intimidated at first because all these
people are old and wise, but it ended up being great and they are the nicest,
most loving people ever. And every lesson is a million times better with
members there. I just love members. Without them, missionary work is really not
much. Members are the key to everything! So that was a great experience and
they are really interested in learning more. :)
On Saturday we had Elder Nielson,
who is in the missionary department, come to our MLC meeting on Saturday
(Missionary Leadership Counsel). It was an awesomeeee meeting - right up there
with Elder Bednar's from the weekend before. His theme echoed Elder Bednar's,
which was to be an agent who acts. He gave us great advice when we talked to
him about what we feel we are doing well in our mission and what our challenges
are. He also explained to us the organization of the Twelve Apostles and all
the Quorums of the Seventies, which was super interesting!!! So we got to learn
a lot of awesome stuff. I was taking notes like a crazy person.
He also introduced to us a new video
and Christmas initiative coming out THIS WEEKEND. It's called 'He is the Gift.'
This is going to be a big thing, but only if everyone shares it!!! The church
has paid a lot of money for this initiative, so it's every members job to share
this with everyone! It is simply a 30 second video about the Savior and that He
is the true gift of Christmas. If you go to lds.org, it will be on
there this weekend. Be sure to watch the video and then share it with everyone.
It will be on Youtube's homepage (on December 7th I think) and also featured in
New York Times Square. In the December Ensign there will be 10 pass along cards
for members to hand out to friends to share the video. This is a great missionary
tool, but again we need everyone's help! So spread the word, and share the real
gift of Christmas so that it can touch people's hearts who are ready to learn
about Jesus Christ and His Gospel. :)
That's it for this week! Have a
Happy Thanksgiving, think about what you're grateful for and keep being happy.
The Gospel is so true!!!!
Love,
Sister Johnson
