Sister Alyssa Johnson: GLEN WAVERLEY - Week 56

Not much happened this week, but it has been so fun here in Glen Waverley with Cahoon!

Happy news- it is finally summer here and is starting to get really hot! Sad news- I am now constantly sweating so that's cool :):)

I got to go to the Temple and do baptisms with Jeff this week! Sister Li and I taught him and he baptized almost 8 months ago, and this past weekend he was FINALLY able to go to the temple! It was so fun to go with him and be a part of the special day :)

Also we hiked 1000 steps again this morning with our flat mates. It was so fun and SO pretty! I love Australia!

Shout out to Cahoon for writing about our week.

I think she said it best (Alyssa just blocked and copied Sister Cahoon’s letter this week, oh boy)

Our ward put on a Thanksgiving Potluck this week though, which was weird since none of them even celebrate it here. So they had the American missionaries share about a typical Thanksgiving in America.. and we ended up getting all 6 of the missionaries to act out "The First Thanksgiving" it was actually pretty funny.

Yu is not getting baptized this week because she decided to come to the Sunday Pot luck AFTER church instead of actually coming to church. So that sucked. But we went over all of the Baptismal Questions with her and she is super prepared!! She answered everything perfectly and hopefully we can push her date back to next weekend.

We also met with Kevin again finally!! He is awesome!! It’s been almost a month since I last saw him but he said he has been praying and still seems really keen to learn/be baptized. Only slight set back is that he showed up with a bunch of coffees and had bought 2 for me and Johnson. So we had to give the entire lesson with these coffees in front of us..and then dump them outside right after he left. So we will probs be going over Word of Wisdom next week :) :) :)

Also taught Allen (the super keen guy who GQed himself last week) we taught Plan of Salvation and it was awesome!!! Such a cool lesson! He asked so many good questions and he has such a sincere desire to learn. After we asked him that when he knows these things are true would he be willing to get baptized and he sat and thought about it for a second and then said yes! So we are going to give him a date for the end of December :)

Those are probably our top 3 investigators right now.. but we have actually found a lot of pretty keen potentials this past week, so that’s been a blessing.

Well hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

love and miss you all!
