This week was really interesting. And
by that I mean it was one of the toughest weeks of my entire mission.
But we made it through, and Sister Blake is an absolute champion, I'm so
proud of her.
We had a couple of really hard conversations
with some of our favorite people. But by the end we
had been helpful there, and learned a lot about ourselves, and we think
things will start to get better again. We've been fasting and praying a
lot, and the Lord has definitely comforted us. The day we knew we needed
to go over, I was studying
in the Book of Mormon, and came across a scripture that our district
leader had read to us a few days before. It was Alma 26:5-7, about how
we have seen thousands of lives changed by the Gospel, and God won't let
our efforts be wasted. He wants to protect and keep our recent converts
too, and things will all work out. And then I read about how Heavenly
Father comforted the sons of Mosiah in Alma 26:26-28 when they were so
worried that they weren't making any progress, and things were just
going to get bad. But they went anyways, relying on the mercies of God,
and it gave me just enough courage, and just enough faith, to go over
to that house anyways. And you know what? I think everything is going to
work out just the way God needs it to.
A few other things
were hard, but it's all good. It's a new week, and those other things
will probably blow over too. Here are some positive highlights from the
week!
-The smoke is mostly gone and we can breathe a little
easier now! :D Yay! We didn't die from smoke inhalation, and we can see
the mountains again.
-We got to go to New Missionary Training and talk to Elder Williams, who is basically famous here in Plummer.
-We got to make another huckleberry pie, and have "Pie and Cry" time after we had that one really hard day.
-CODEY
IS ON DATE TO BE BAPTIZED ON SEPTEMBER 30!!!! Transfers will be Sept
26, so we are crossing our fingers that we'll still be here for it. If
not, I just want everyone to know that this kid is one of my best
friends, and I beat him at nerf war on Saturday. ;)
-Sister
Blake and I got to help a lady dig 6 kittens out of her wood pile, and
they were adorable! I'll have to send some pictures.
Anyways,
that's the basic summary of my week. I sure love you all so much. Thank
you for all the prayers and support! It means so much to me :). I hope
you all have fabulous weeks!
Love, Sister Johnson
