MOORABBIN - Week 23 - April 3, 2017

Hello family & friends!!

This week has been so great.

We have been able to meet with a lot of our investigators and recent converts this week and it has been great helping them and teaching them more about the Gospel and about our Savior Jesus Christ. I LOVE doing missionary work here in Melbourne. It is the hardest and most discouraging work I have ever done, but at the same time is it also the happiest and most rewarding work I have ever done. 

We have been working with our investigator Crush this week. He is awesome and is so willing to learn. He loves everything we teach him and truly wants this Gospel in his life. During our lesson this week we were able to set a baptismal date with him for May! He has a few things that we need to work through and overcome before he can get baptized, but both he knows and we know that the Lord will help him in this process! It has been so special to see his relationship with the Savior grow and become so personal. It has helped me think about my own relationship with Him and how I too can make it more personal. 

We had zone conferences this week and it was so great to hear and learn from President Vidmar. I love him and Sister Vidmar so much! It was also fun to see my old zone and all my old homies at zone conference. I have seriously met some of the best people ever on my mission and I am so grateful for their examples and their friendship.

It is fall here in Australia and winter is coming soon so we had flu shots after zone conferences for those who wanted them. I have always gotten flu shots in the past and so I decided to get one this year too. For about 3 days after the shot I was getting headaches and was feeling really dizzy, but it wasn't too bad. On Saturday evening I was feeling pretty light headed and had a really bad headache so I decided to take a shower and go to bed early. Long story short, when I was showering I didn't feel good so I got out and stood outside the shower for a second. Next thing I remember was laying/sitting on the floor of the bathroom. Turns out that I hit my head on the counter when I passed out and got a nice shiner right on my forehead. but DON'T WORRY MOM.. all is good and after resting all of Sunday I am feeling better and can now continue in the work. I know that it could have been a lot worse than it was and I am so grateful that Heavenly Father is always watching over and protecting me!

I love this gospel so much and am so grateful to have it in my life. I am even more grateful that I have the opportunity to share it and help those who don't. I truly know that God is our loving Heavenly Father! I have been able to feel of His love many times this week and I am always brought to tears. I know that He knows us personally and will answer our prayers. 

Also I am so excited to listen to conference this week! It takes a week for translation so we will listen to it this Saturday and Sunday and I cannot wait.

Thank you for the love, support and prayers. I love you all.

Have a good week and say your prayers!

xoxo,

Sister Johnson

Sister Li.  Companions who do "twinner" hair
are true companions.

Fall mornings in the flat, a little chilly.
Good thing she isn't serving in Russia or something

Bumped her head after fainting.  Oh boy!!
