Hey fam and friends!
This week we got to meet with our investigator Jeff again and we finished all the lessons!! We finished teaching him and got to review and prepare for his baptismal interview that he will have this week. He is getting baptised on April 29 and I am so excited. He is incredible and I have learned so much from teaching him and helping him prepare to make this next (very important) step in his life.
We had interviews with President Vidmar this week and wow I love meeting with him! He is the greatest and always knows what to say to motivate, help and encourage me. After our interview, he was able to meet our investigator Jeff who will be baptised at the end of this week and President bore his testimony to Jeff and wow it was incredible! President Vidmar is a special and very inspired man.
I got a call on Saturday night from Sister Dobberfuhl (my last companion) and she told me that our investigator Tina is getting baptised on April 22!!! I am so excited and it was one of the best phone calls I have ever received!
This week was the 8 year anniversary of my sisters Alexis and Amanda passing away. It was a really special day for me and it happened to be on Easter this year! It is always hard with the memories and feelings that always come, but it was also really special. There were many times during the day that I felt so happy and felt so comforted. I knew in those moments my sisters were giving me a hug or two. I felt so close to them and it was amazing. I am so grateful for this Gospel and the knowledge I have to know that I will see them again one day :)
Yesterday for P-Day, we got permission from President to go to the Footy game!! For those of you who don't know what footy is... I don't really know either. It is an Australia sport and it is actually really cool! It is kind of like American football, rugby, basketball, volleyball, and soccer all mixed together. So yeah pretty confusing huh? We didn't even understand the scoring until the second half when we finally asked someone, and after watching the entire game I am still not sure what the purpose of the game is? But even though I didn't understand what was really going on, it was still so fun to watch!
Well this week has been awesome and I am so excited for Tina's baptism this Saturday :) I love being a missionary! Chinese is still hard but is slowly (VERY SLOWLY) coming. I am so grateful I get to be apart of this special work.
xoxo,
Sister Johnson

Loved your pictures and your comment about Alexis and Amanda. They are certainly assigned to be your guardian angels, I really do believe that.
