Week 66

Hi Mom! This week was good! We did a ton of service this week and have a lot more lined up for this next week. We don’t have any news on Elder Halls visa yet. It’s not too cold so he is doing fine. He has a sweater and a light jacket that gives enough warmth. 

This week lots happened and at the same time not much happened. We did find a cool family this week (single mom and her son) and they are interested and we have had a couple awesome lesson with them. It was cool because when we knocked on their door the mom answered and told us that she wasn’t interested but that he son would be. So we came by later to meet with her son and she listened to the lesson and now she is taking the lessons with her son. So that’s cool. And yeah that was my week. 

So next week I’m going to the Kansas City Temple with all the elders in my district including the senior couple and the bishop to do a session. So that’s awesome! I'm excited! It’s been forever since I’ve been to the temple. The mission has recently changed the policy so we can go to the temple every six months if we live within 2 1/2 hours of the temple. So that will probably be the only opportunity I’ll have to go to the temple on my mission. Unless I serve in Topeka. I will be going on Tuesday so Tuesday will be my pday. So I’m letting you know so you can know that I won’t respond to my email til Tuesday. Have a great week!  Love ya!

Dear Sister Johnson,

Your fine son participated in a special musical number in our ward yesterday. The elders sang a beautiful arrangement of "Silent Night" that was enjoyed by everyone in attendance.

Thank you again for sending your son to Kansas on his mission! We are enjoying getting to know him!

Sincerely,

Week 64 Staying in Junction City

Hey everyone! 
This week was great! Transfer news is in so I’ll start off with that. I will be staying in Junction City and I will be training a new missionary! So that’s exciting! I’m really excited to train I think it will be really fun. I don’t know who it will be but I’ll find out on Wednesday. I’m happy I’m staying because Junction is awesome and the members are really cool. 

So this week was Thanksgiving! It was really good. We had two Thanksgivings on Thursday (one at the church and the other at a members) and another one on Friday it was so good. I got a little fat. 

This week also we did a lot of service. It was fun. Saturday we went and did some yard work for some members cutting down trees and bushes. But that is a quick rundown of my week this week!

Week 63

Hey y’all! 
This week was great! Lots of cool things happened! So we had a zone conference in Topeka on Friday with Elder Stanfill from the seventy. It was so awesome! It’s so great to be able to meet and hear from a general authority. It was really good. 

Then this week we had Stephens baptism! It went so great! So this is Stephens story of how he found the church and that it was true. Stephen has a friend who was recently baptized. He was talking to her one day and he mentioned how he wanted to get back into church. His friend invited him to go to a Mormon service and so he thought he’d try it out. He went just that one Sunday and at church he “felt like he was home” and “where he was supposed to be” at church a member gave him a Book of Mormon. He took it home and started to read it. He would from time to time ask some questions to his friend about the church. Stephen got in habit to read the Book of Mormon every day. He found out about general conference and then started to study conference talks every day as well. He just showed up to church one Sunday by himself and that’s how we met him. By this time he already knew of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. Teaching him was awesome, he knew very little of the Restoration or the plan of salvation but as we taught him he accepted everything easily because he knew the Book of Mormon was true. The other day we were talking about temples with him and he is getting deployed to Europe. (He is in the army) And he really wants to try to go to the temple before he goes to Europe. So that’s really awesome he has that goal. 

Also an awesome miracle is that Jason and Joes older brother Josue got baptized this last week. When I first met him he wouldn’t ever want to talk to us. But now he is baptized! So cool!
