Dear Eternal Family!

This week I am back in the Zone Colatina. Let me describe it to you. HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS HILLS, and the more HILS HILLS HILLS HILLS. You get the picture. When I was transferred here President Pickett pulled me aside and told me that I was being sent here for one reason, and that was to teach a basketball camp to around 30 young men ages 16-18. I was super excited for this assignment! We will have our first practice tomorrow.

This week we knocked quite a few doors. Upon being accepted to enter a certain door the man immediately began wanting to Bible bash with me. He was a JW. (Jehovah's witness). I let him do his little spiel and what not. He went on about the Bible and how the Bible is perfect and how it cannot be moved or have any other book to replace it. I then asked him how it was the the JW church had their own Bible then. He then said. "they are different words but they talk about the same gospel" I then said. "the Book of Mormon is also different words but the same Gospel" I didn't want to fight with him so I bore one of the most powerful testimonies that I have ever bore and told him that the Book of Mormon is the most correct book on the earth and how I knew it was a true book because our Heavenly Father was the One that revealed these truths unto me and that no man could take the Testimony from me. The man shut up, and I got up and left! I Love the Book of Mormon and I'm so thankful that I have the chance to be a "defender of the truth" and defend these wimpy attacks that the adversary is trying to lace at us!

I Love you all and hope you all have a GREAT week!
Love,
Elder Jeffrey Johnson
