Week 50: What's up Dog??

Oi gente!! Tudo bem??

I learned this week what the wires in our shower do! They heat the water. Monday night, my companion was taking a shower, and then all of the sudden I heard a pop and her yell "tá repreendido" While she was showering, the wires in the shower exploded-yikes. The next morning I went to take a shower and the water was freezing, and then it all made sense in my head. As sketchy as those wires are, I really am thankful for them haha.

We were also invited Reginaldo and Elizandra to be baptized this week, and they said yes! They are probably two of the most humble people I have ever met. They both don't really know how to read, but they are trying to read the Book of Mormon. They are willing to change every aspect of their lives so that they can get baptized. There are a few complications with helping them get married, so any prayers on their behalf would be greatly appreciated!!

And finally, this week I was very grateful for the ability to unsend voice messages. We were talking with one of our friends, Douglas and he sent us some videos of his super cute dog. The subject also came up that I am from the United States, as it typically does whenever we talk to anyone ever. Douglas sent us two voice memos--one about his dog, and one asking me to take him to the United States (this is very common, I am very used to it at this point). Well, I got a little confused and thought he asked me if I could take his dog back to the US with me. So I answered that his dog was cute, but I couldn't take him home with me. After sending the voice memo being very proud that I sent a message without asking my companion for help on any words, she explained to me that I successfully just called our investigator a dog-typically something we try to avoid. I blame this mistake on the Office Elders who look at me and say "what's up dog?!" every time we walk into the office. So there you go, I am still quite far from fluent haha.

I hope you all have a fantastic week, miss and love you all!!

Abraçosssssss,
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...
