Bonjour à
tous!
I don't
know what to talk about this week. We had a really good week. I've been blessed
to have a lot of good weeks lately.
I guess
I'll start with our Amis this week! Guess what?! We fixed a baptismal date with
Moïse and his wife and family! We scheduled it for the 14th of November. It was
so cool. They really want to come to church but because of general conference
we will be in Toulouse. When we set the baptismal date, it made me sad how I
wasn't going to be there but then I really thought about it and I felt really
dumb. I still feel super happy that they are going to be baptized even though I'm
not going to be there. It's the same joy.
I didn't
realize how fulfilling being a missionary was going to be. As hard as it is, it
is so rewarding... Anyway! Brigitte is doing pretty well. Her daughters are
still being super annoying. Brigitte said a really good prayer in front of us
for the first time ever. She is so shy she thought it was going to kill her.
But afterwards she felt so good because she realized that she has been capable
of doing it for a long time. The spirit was super strong after she said her
prayer. It was cool because she realized how much progress she has actually
made!
... Hmm
what else happened this week? Oh! We went to Bordeaux zone conference, which
was pretty cool. We had an area seventy come. He was really cool. It was kind
of weird just because a lot of the counsels given to me where good but it is
hard to apply everything knowing I only will be applying them for a couple of
weeks. It has also been hard with all of the changes that president has made.
It's not bad that he is changing things because he is moving the mission
forward but I'm just like… I've been doing it this way for so long. But anyway!
I got a lot of good stuff out of it. One of my favorite quotes from the conference
was "the atonement leaves no trace." After this life, we won't
remember the sins that we committed if we have repented of them. I never really
thought about that. God is that merciful that he is going to take away the
guilt completely in helping us forget!
Elder Johnson reunited with the first Elder he trained, Elder Acheson. Elder Acheson has been very ill with a lung infection and has not been able to get out and work. Please keep him in your prayers. |
I don't
have a ton of other stuff to talk about. I'm working hard! No dreams with
Johnny Depp this week but I'll keep you posted if I have another one.
I love you!
Elder Johnson
