Sister Alyssa Johnson: MOORABBIN - Week 42

First off, thank you soo much to everyone who wished me (and my comp) happy birthday this week! We had an awesome birthday and a great week :)

Our birthday was fun! Nothing too special and it honestly felt like a normal day, but it was fun to celebrate with Sister Zhang. For brekky I made Sister Zhang and I french toast (oh man I wish you were here Adam--you are so much better at making french toast than I am!! thought of you and all the times you made me french toast when I was home haha miss you bud) But we did our studies, had a few lessons and then had game night in the city. ALSO on our birthday we found a crepe shop, so that was a birthday miracle!!!! :)

We have been meeting with our investos and they are all doing great :) teaching them is going great and we are hoping that we will be able to start setting some baptismal dates soon!!! I love this work!

We had interviews with President this week which was great. It still amazes me that talking to him for 30 minutes can have such an impact and help soo much. He knows exactly what to say to calm me, help me and encourage me! I really am so blessed to know and serve with President Vidmar!!

This morning we had the Sisters Breakfast birthday thing with all the sisters that serve in the city! AND I MAY BE 20 NOW, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED BECAUSE JUST THIS MORNING I LOCKED THE KEYS TO OUR FLAT INSIDE OUR FLAT AGAIN!!!!!!!! Yeah I wish I was joking. We were running out the door this morning so we wouldn't be late to the breakfast, and when I shut the door behind us I realized that I wasn't holding the keys in my hand. So I tired to break into our house so we wouldn't have to tell anyone that it happened again (for the 6th time...) but turns out our house is REALLY SAFE and we weren't able to get in. No one answered our calls so we ended up walking to the nearest train station which was a 40 minute walk. (40 minutes to think about why I can never remember the keys hahah) We got on and after a little over an hour we made it to the City and our cute senior couple came and picked us up. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY PROBLEM IS!!!!

OH so we have this friend Jody who lives Clayton. We see her everyday because she is always at the library and cafe that we teach at and such. She knows EVERYONE that lives in Clayton, I swear! So this week she said she wanted to give us a birthday present and asked if she could draw us. She took our picture and then on our birthday gave us the drawings........she is soo sweet but the drawings of us scare Sister Zhang!! I love the people I get to meet here! :)

ALSO we are doing our zone p-day next week and we are going to the great ocean road & 12 apostles (!!!!!!!look it up!!!!!!!!!) I am soo excited, but I will be emailing late so don't be worried (mom & dad) when I'm not on next week :)

have a good week! love and miss you all.

thanks for the birthday love!
