Email from Elder Johnson #3


Group Email:

Stay on Target...Stay on Target

What's up good people? Man this week has flown by fast! How are you guys? I miss y'all big time. Feel free to email me back at times. I do enjoy hearing from you too:) Anywayyy this last week has been pretty good I'd say, lots of good things fell into place. 

I had my first zone conference this week and really got to get to know my mission president more. It was a very cool experience I had a lot of feelings i had been having and questions that I had come across answered through out the conference. It was insane to have just constant answers to everything I had been feeling or thinking being thrown at me😂 God works in mysterious ways! Haha. The main focus was the line, "Stay on target...Stay on target" from Star Wars. Just remembering why we are here and although we have all these distractions going on in the world around us we have to stay on target and we will be blessed for the work we are doing.

We also met Shermicia! She was a referral sent to us from some Salt Lake sisters. She had requested a Book of Mormon and a Bible in big print. So we called her set up a time and we met her and holy fetch she was so excited to see us. She said that she had been praying for someone to reach out and give her the word of God and then we called her just a few minutes after that. We set up times to come visit her twice a week and she wants us to teach her sister, and her grandkids and on top of all that she wants to come to church so we got a big W! She's so awesome and is the most eager person to learn and grow in the gospel of Jesus Christ that all 3 of us have ever seen. It's pretty dang exciting.

Also, at zone conference I finally met Elder Gunnell and Elder Robison in the flesh for a few brief moments. Which was pretty flippin exciting, if I do say so myself, cause we missed each other at the airport by like 10 minutes. So we finally crossed paths. Good times for the red tie gang! 

Anyway sorry for the long email but I'm having a great time in the great state of Minnesota, where they say the mosquito is the true state bird. Boy were they not lying😂 Yikesss! Last I counted I have 10 on just one of my legs but it's all good right? It's alllll gooood pain (or I guess in this case itchiness) It is temporary but the work goes on forever. Take it easy my peeps, be safe, don't get the Rona, and know that I love ya. 

Till next time,

-Elder Johnson
