Week 31: Feliz Ano Novo!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!! I hope you all had a great time celebrating and got to set some good goals for yourself!


This week was just full of adjusting:) I had to say goodbye to the other two Sisters I was living with and the great ward I was in. But now I live in Corvallis which is at the very top of our mission! I've slowly made my way from the very bottom of the mission to the very top. My new companion's name is Sister Moore and she is in the last transfer of her mission, WILD! So I will be her last ever companion, lots of pressure there. I have seriously learned so much from her already, she is a fantastic missionary.

As I mentioned before, I am serving in the Young Single Adult ward up here which means we cover the Oregon State University Campus! Unfortunately due to COVID, not many people are living at school right now and we aren't allowed to go walk around on campus and try to talk to people which is unfortunate. So hopefully things will start loosening up and we will be able to go and talk to more people soon! But it is fun to be back in a YSA ward, it reminds me of all the good times at BYU!

This week we had two lessons with our friend Daniel who is going to be baptized! He is super amazing, the Sisters found him through Facebook so that is pretty cool! He starts up school today and is taking 21 CREDITS so any prayers on his behalf would be appreciated:)))

I hope you all have a great week and a Happy New Year! Thank you for all the letters and emails, I appreciate them more than you know!!!

Love,
Sister Johnson

Weeks 16 & 17: Temples and Car Washes!!

Image
Hello everyone!!!! I have to apologize for not writing last week! I had the amazing opportunity to go to Medford and go to the temple! I am so thankful for temples and how they help us feel God's love for us! It was also awesome that I got to see my parents again for a little bit! Also Medford has an In n Out so it was overall a great day! In terms of people we are teaching we have been meeting with Deb for the past couple of weeks. In the past she has been meeting with Elders so we're the first Sisters she has met with. Deb told us she really liked meeting with Sisters because she felt she could open up and talk to us a lot more which was so good to hear! Originally she told the elders she no longer wanted to talk to missionaries because of all the switching that's been going on so I'm thankful Deb gave us a chance. Sister Massey and I also had the chance to travel to a baptism! Since I've been in Klamath I've heard about Bob and Joyce and it has been a process...

Week 34: too many miracles

Image
Olááá!!!! As the subject suggests, this week has been so so full of miracles. But the biggest miracle of all has to be our friend Zoe has decided she is going to be baptized on February 27!! We've only taught her for about a week now, but she is so prepared. We taught her the Restoration on Tuesday and I was able to tell her about Joseph Smith's first vision. Right after I finished, she looked at me with a smile so big I could see it through her mask and she said, "wow, that is amazing." Our next lesson with her was on Saturday and she told us she had prayed to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet and if the Book of Mormon was true and she had this overwhelming sense of peace. She read the Book of Mormon every single day since we'd last met, and she absolutely loves it. We invited her to be baptized, and she said yes!! She is beyond excited, and we are too!!  Another miracle from the week, we were on exchanges and Sister Laymon told me she knew this guy at a Gyro pl...

Week 28: Staying in Springfield!

Image
Hello everyone!  It was another crazy busy week here in Springfield! We had Zone Conference and our Mission President talked to us about the importance of having hope. We talked about how hope is an abiding trust in the Lord and that He will fulfill His promises! In times like these, we can always trust that if we are obedient and follow God's commandments, we can expect blessings! This message was extremely helpful to our friend Eve. She's had a pretty rough life, but when we talk to her about hope in Jesus Christ and how He can help her in any circumstance, there is a noticeable change in her. Hope is powerful! Also, I am not getting transferred! All three of us were really worried we were going to be split up because of all the craziness with other missionaries going home before Christmas. Thankfully, we all get to stay together for at least two more weeks and spend Christmas together!! I would love to receive any Christmas cards, and thanks to all those who have already sen...
