Wow!!!! What a week. This is the kind of week that you look back on and say...Wow!!!! We accomplish so much that it seems inhumanly possible. I wish I could tell you about every thing. Last week we fasted for new investigators. And we got 7 last week. This week we continued to pray for more new investigators and the Lord has continued to help us. We now have quite a teaching pool and we have a lot of appointments. So my goal this week is now to get baptisms. At first when I got to this area there wasn't anything really happening. Now we have two baptisms on the way. It all was made possible because of the temple trip. Our ward had a temple trip this week and President Young was thinking about letting us go as well. Unfortunately the temple is like 2 and a half hours away so it would be an all day affair and we'd lose a lot of time we could be proselyting. So in the end he didn't let us go. But there are sister missionaries serving in our ward too and President let them go because they had more investigators going. Anyways we had two that ended up going on the temple trip. Jonathon and Ethan. Jonathon was a referral from the Bishop and we have been teaching him. And Ethan is one of the members friends. It was kinda crazy. A couple weeks ago Jack introduced us to Ethan and we talked with him for a while. He said he was an atheist and he wouldn't be interested in taking lessons. Then for some outlandishly crazy reason he decided he wanted to go the temple trip with his friend Jack. Well things happen when you go to the temple. Needless to say they both came out of the experience saying "I want to be baptized!!" YAY!
Zone conference was this week which is always amazing. Luckily we didn't have to prepare anything for it so that was nice. We just got to sit back and learn.
This week is Thanksgiving. Cool! We are not going to have turkey for Thanksgiving. We are eating at a members home who is from the Philippines and he said they will be cooking some kind of small hen....? I know it will be really good though because I've eaten there before and it was super good. Thats ok anyways turkey is not even that good. :)
Oh yeah so the Ducks played and lost this last Saturday. That is never good because everybody is really sad and nobody wants to talk with us. But in a way it is also pretty good because that means they only have one game left to play! We don't really like it when they play because the entire city just shuts down and we can't find anybody to teach.
Well I send All my Loving to y'all out there and know that everything is nice and dandy!
Love Elder Johnson
