Emma Week 8


(Family and Friends)
THIS WEEK HAS BEEN 100% AMAZING!!!! (-minus a few things)

I'll just get the bad things out of the way first. So we have had to stop teaching A LOT  of people this week. One of the more promising ones was really hard, she was reading the Book of Mormon and everything but she told us to not come back. We are pretty sure she got anti'd.

But good news is that all the people we couldn't get a hold of last week have finally started answering their doors and phones! So that was a relief!

We also started doing service and Salvation Army which is so FUN!!! It's also a huge problem for me because I keep finding a bunch of clothes that are SOOOOO cheap......

This week I have felt the presence of the Holy Ghost more than I ever have in my life!! Sister Rowe and I had 2 awesome lessons and I was a little stressed about one of them with knowing what to say. But once we got started I instantly felt the spirit take over! It was such an amazing experience. After that I continued to feel the spirit so strongly in the other lessons we taught.

Also the south is so much better than Utah because they have so much more stuff to catch! Like lizards, fireflies, and FROGS!!! I caught so many frogs this week and every single one that I caught didn't turn into a prince when I kissed it! Oh I also caught a catfish, and the rest of my district only caught the small ones, so I'm basically the best fishermissionary out of all of them.

My favorite thing I studied this week was 2 Nephi 2, and y'all should read it cause it is amazing! Especially verses 9 and 10.

Funny Story:
So some missionaries believe that no harm or danger will come to them because they are missionaries. But that is not true because we have to be smart and obedient in all that we do. So one night we were driving past a sketchy part of town that a lot of drug deals happen and Sister Rowe was jokingly saying lets go in there and get some gas (because it's by a gas station), and then I said, "Lets go test how protected we are" and then we laughed SOOO hard. It might not seem so funny but it was!!!

Love y'all!!

Today is my 2 month mark and it blows my mind I haven't seen y'all in that long! I bet you guys miss me so much that you cry yourselves to sleep every night. Don't worry it is ok to admit it.

There's not much to report for this week besides that it has been great! I have felt the spirit so strongly, He has directed my paths so much! In 2 of my lessons I literally felt Him speaking through me because when I didn't know what to say I would end up saying something completely unplanned for. It definitely strengthened my testimony on the Holy Ghost and that Heavenly Father is aware of me.

Also I don't know if I will have time to respond to all of the individual emails I got because today is busy. But I'll try and if I don't I am sorry! Anyways I love all of you guys and miss you so much!

Love Sister Johnson
