THE CITY OF OAKLAND!!!
#Oakland
Well hello there!
I bet everyone is running around like crazy this week.... I can't wait to hear about all the wedding stuff!
Everything
in Oakland is just plain great and awesome. Last week we met a lady
named T****** while going to visit a less active. She really liked us so
we asked if we could come back the next day and she said yes. So we went
back with a member (Sister S********) and it was one of the most
memorable lessons of my mission. T******* is soooo crazy and sooooo funny.
She basically told us her whole life story and is one of the most
animated and exuberant individuals. What's even more amazing though is
her story. She has been off of drugs for 10 years and her and her
husband are the nicest people just trying to make it in life and are so
grateful for all they have. She is excited to learn from us and loves
us.
Another exciting miracle recently is that
we've met a few times with someone who has been investigating the church
on and off for 4 years. He's had many baptismal dates and they have all
not happened. Well recently we met with him and he told us he wants to
be baptized. We extended a date for this Sunday (the 31st) and he
excepted! Now the only thing we have to do is do everything in our power
to make sure it happens! He is an older man, in his late 60's, and is
so sweet but something always seems to get in his way. Not his time
though! The ward is really excited about this because he's been learning
for so long and just needs to enter into that water!
Those are a few highlights from the week. We went to the temple today and there are other pics we took recently. Life is great!
I love you all and have a wonderful week and CONGRATULATIONS BRAD AND TATUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Sister Johnson
