Yes, I am transferred! It is awesome here! Yes hot, yes so so
windy, but it is amazing and the people are humble and my companions are
hilarious! Sister Beagley is from St George, Utah and Sister Packer is
form Layton, Utah. Sister Packer was in Apple Valley before this and
came to this area with me and Sister Beagley has been here for 3 months
in this area. They are awsome!!! We laugh alllll the time it is sooooo
funny. But at the same time, we totally teach with unity and power and
we have had so many little miracles this week!!! A trio companionship
works the same way as a companionship. We are allowed to teach men alone
because there is 3 of us, which is awesome. We are lucky because our
apartment is pretty big!! Other than that it is the same. It is so fun
to have 2 best friends that you get to labor diligently with and have a
blast with! We are already unified and progressing.
LOL FUNNY STORY IT IS SO WINDY HERE. I totally have to hold
down my skirt all the time. So I will be investing in some leggings or
shorts or something to wear under my skirts. We have a car, but our
miles are so limited so we walk a lot and I love it because we get more
exercise! Also, when you walk, you get to talk to more people and
contact! The ward isn't huge, our bishop is hilarious, we need to help
them be more missionary minded... Don't be surprised if bishop Lyon
calls you up sometime and talks to you! He said he does that with every
missionary here.
This week was awesome. We had so many miracles!!!! We have a
baptism this week! Ryan, he is 10 and he will be baptized on Friday! He
is so sweet and I am so excited!!! I will send you pics afterwards!!! WE
also have another investigator who wants to be baptized, her name is
Kenzie. She has some hold ups, but she will get there! We also have an
investigator named Jen, her husband is less-active. She wants to be
baptized and sealed in the temple, but straight up doesn't want to come
to church without her husband. Which stinks because he doesn't want to
come. We also got a new investigator named Billie (she is a girl). She
is the manager to our apartment complex and is awesome! She fed us lunch
this week!
It's a whole different world here in Hesperia. The people are
different, the investigators are different, the scenery is different,
there are pawn shops and thrift stores everywhere, it's all so random. I
love it though. Really, this place is awesome, and I will bring you all
here when we come back to tour my mission (assuming ya'll want to do
that). We get fed well, the members are sweet and motherly, and the sun
always shines. But it's all different in a great way! These people
hunger and thirst after righteousness and are willing to get do whatever
they can to get it!
I am so grateful to be here. I know it's where I am supposed to be!!!
So
this week I finished the Book of Mormon! What a great and rewarding
feeling. I can say that I know without a doubt that it is true. Miracles
can happen in our lives as we feast upon the words of Christ. When we
read the Book of Mormon, we truly can "come unto Christ, and be
perfected in Him...that ye become holy without spot." (Moroni 10:32-33)
Love you! I hope I answered all of your questions!
Sister Johnson
