Week 78 - Sister Missionary: Complete

Buenos dias everyone!

My testimony has been strengthened even more this week as we have been working hard out here in San Vicente. I hit 18 months and I got two weeks down out here now and I feel like I finally know how to navigate the place. Being with Elder Greer is a blast and we have put some big goals and plans for these upcoming months. We want to make a big difference in this ward here and to help the Lord's work progress even more. 

This week we found a youth whose name is Ivan. He is 16 years old and is extremely interested in the church. His grandma and mom are Catholics but yesterday Ivan and his mom went to church! He is planned to be baptized at the end of this month if he keeps reading and looking for the answers to his prayers. 

We have praying really hard and fasting to see miracles in our area. Yesterday in church we found a young man around the age of 20 who had gone to church years earlier but never was able to be completely baptized. Right then and there we invited him to be baptized and he accepted. The brothers here in the Elders Quorum class really ministered to him and made him feel at home and he even participated a few times in the class. We have truly seen God's hand in the work here, and despite lots of rejection and lots of people that don't want to obey the commandments, we are preaching repentance to every person we possibly can. In the street, in their homes, or anywhere else, we are trying to bring about the gathering of Israel here in San Vicente and God is helping us every step of the way. Love and miss you all! Nos vemos.

 

Love, Elder Johnson
