Random
miracle news. Roxy- our investigator- is getting baptized this week!
woot woot at that!!!! She has been an investigator in other wards
multiple times and knows the missionary lessons backwards and forwards.
We are lucky to have been able to commit her to baptism. and NOW SHE IS
GETTING BAPTIZED. I am so excited for her. She is Bffs with the
less-active who has been coming to church consistently for a
month-Ashley. So, next week you will be hearing all about my excitement
with that.
ALSO GOOD
NEWS. Our investigator Julia that moved to the middle of no where- a
place called Lucerne- is getting baptized on the 12th!!!!! YAYYYYYYY.
The elders there have been taking care of her and are making sure that
she is baptized in this transfer so that me and Sis Nash can go for
sure.
This
transfer is over on the 13th of July. I won't be surprised if I move
again. One day, it is my dream to stay in an area for 6 months. I will
rejoice in that.
This
morning we drove back down the mountain to Rancho Cucamonga to take our
2 week missionary companion (Sister Bills) back to the mission office
for her parents to pick her up. Don't be surprised if she gives you guys
a call and says hello! hahaha I gave her ya'll phone number. There is
so much pollution/smog down in rancho and ontario and upland. woooooooo.
here in the desert it is clear and high up and safe from all that. It
makes me grateful to be here. Also down the hill it is HUMIDDDD to the
max. The desert is where it's at.
Sister
Kirchner is still killing it at coming to church and loving life. She is
a champion in the gospel now. Another less-active sister that we have
been working with, Sister Kammeyer, CAME TO CHURCHHHHHH. That was the
bomb as well. She is always in pain, so it was a big step of faith for
her to be at church-sitting still for quite a bit of time.
Also, for an
activity with the other missionaries in our Zone, we had a water balloon
fight this afternoon. It was awesome. That is why I am emailing so
late!!! It was wayyyy fun.
One of our new investigators this week.. We actually got a referral from the mormon.org website
for him- he requested a bible and book of mormon. (it's awesome because
when people online request a BOM, they think they are going to get it
in the mail, but instead us missionaries drop them off. hahahaha so the
people get way surprised.) Anyways, so the first time that we talked to
him, he totally made himself sound like he was a member. But then when
we actually had a sit down lesson, we found out that he wasn't! random
and funny story. but it didn't sound funny when I told it to you. hahah
We have been
trying to stop by this less active and recent convert family, the
Castillos, and have never had success getting in the door. But Sunday we
took them some cookies (genius way to get to their hearts) and they let
us in!!! turns out that sister Castillo had been praying for us to
come. It was the sweetest experience to see her recognize that Heavenly
Father had answered her prayers yet again!! We were able to testify to
them of Heavenly Father's love and watchful eye, and are going back
again to see them soon! yay for miracles.
I guess this
is kind of a short update-- sorry about that. Anything specific you have
questions about? I will gladly answer them.
There are so many people to tell you about, and so little time to do it all. The work in this ward is so good!!
I love you all!!! Prayers for Roxy that she will make it to her baptism this week. please.
Sister Johnson
