PRESIDENT AND SISTER JOHNSON ARRIVE..AND "YOU NEED A BOOKING" - 08/24/2020

My new mission President, President and Sister Johnson
during our interview, they are amazing!!

Sister Devotional

For starters, President and Sister Johnson got here this week! They are INCREDIBLE and I have already learned so much from them! We got to do a couple of mission calls, interviews, and an MLC so we have had a lot of conversations with them! They are very inspired people and have so many incredible stories. I am excited for these next couple of months with them, I know that I will learn so much!!!
AH, what an exciting week!!! I am a tired human BUT it has been so so good so it is all worth it!! We had the funniest day ever (in my opinion hehe). SO we planned a little lunch with our friend that just got baptized and we wanted to go to this place to get a roast dinner (basically a proper English meal) AND we walk in and got told 4 simples words "you need a booking" WELL OKAY. So we walked 12 minutes down the road to Pizza Hut and guess what we got told... "you need a booking" hahaha SO we went to the next place called Frankie and Benny's and you'll never believe it BUT we needed a booking!!!! SO we called this little cafe and don't you even worry because we needed a booking there too hahaha SO MCDONALDS HERE WE COME. It was so funny and made for a good laugh because it was POURING rain!!! BUT in the end, I got my chicken nuggets so I, myself, was one happy chicken nugget!!!
Planning with Chester


Splits with Sister Christensen!!



BUT YES so this week we found a friend on Instagram!!!! AND got two referrals from a member, which is incredible. For the past few weeks, we made a goal to constantly pray for miracles and for a referral because we need help in the work (always)!!! AH so we kept on forgetting, we would do it every so often but it wasn't very specific and so this week we really made a push AND let's just say God is good!! A member, that is one of our really good friends, basically went street contacting and talked to these two college students who now want to learn more! LIKE HUH. Afterwards we just looked at each other with such joy because of how good God is!!! It just made me realize the importance of remembering and the power of prayer, which is always good, I LOVE IT!!! I love being a missionary!! OH also there is this recent convert who got baptized then looked into some not great things SO stopped coming to church and stopped talking to missionaries BUUUT this week we met with him and he said he would come to church next week!! HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT. AH God is so good and so aware of His children, I love it!!!
       We got VERY caught in the rain!!

ALSO, we got to do in-person splits this week!!!! Sister Christenson and Sister LeBlanc came up to do a little split with us and it was so incredible. I am just grateful for all I learn from these incredible humans!!!! AH I was with Sister Christenson and I love her so much so it was a happy time :) We also joined Sister Torres and Sister Cairns weekly planning which is happy, they are serving in Chester which is the first area I served in on my mission so it is fun to hear about the people I know and LOOOVE. AND we did splits with Sister Nolan and Sister Gremillion which was also good OH MY GOODNESS FRIENDS I LOVE THESE HUMANS. I can't say it enough, they are the best and teach me so much!!!

WOW, what a long email this week but what can ya do 🤷🏼‍♀️ This week I have been thinking a lot about TRUST. With everything going on with COVID and just life, in general, there a lot of times where we just gotta trust Heavenly Father. We need to trust that He has a plan and that it will all be okay!! I love the scripture in Mosiah 29:20 where it talks about how the Lord will bless us when we humble ourselves and truly trust Him! It says:

"But behold, he did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him."

I just love it. WHAT A BLESSING IS IT to know that the Lord is always there, He always loves us, He always cares for us, and He will ALWAYS comfort us. I love this gospel, I love that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us so much that He sent His Son to this earth for us so that we could always feel the peace and comfort of Him. I LOVE IT. AHHHH HAVE A GOOD WEEK!

LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
