Week 33: 🌊Coast for Christ🌊

Hello everyone!!!

This week was a pretty busy week for us! We got to go on our first round of exchanges this week with one of the companionships of Sisters who live out on the Oregon coast. I never thought I would get to see the ocean on my mission, but there it was! I got to spend the day with Sister Peterson which was a lot of fun. The coast sisters live an hour and a half away from us, so we don't really get to see them except for exchanges and zone conference, so it was nice to go out there for the day and see them. Unfortunately due to COVID we can't stay the night, but it was a good day trip at least! This week we also had Zone Conference! Sister Moore and I presented about Facebook Finding and we set some good goals for the zone that we are excited about. 

In terms of teaching, we started teaching someone named Zoe! Zoe was in contact with the missionaries before I got here, but we had never been able to get in contact with her. We texted her on Thursday, and she finally responded back and asked if we could have a scripture study together! We got together with her on Saturday and talked about faith and scripture study, and we were able to give her a Book of Mormon which she is so excited about, she told us she loves new scripture and learning more about Christ. We are excited to meet with her again on Wednesday! Daniel is still so busy, but when we texted him the zoom link for Church on Sunday, he responded that he was already on! So that was a relief for sure. 

Thank you all for your emails, letters, and prayers, they mean a lot!! Have a fantastic week!! 

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...
