July 24th - 6 Weeks to date!

Hello!!!!! 

I love and miss you all so much! :) I am running short on time so I will try to get through it all quickly!

Quote of the Week

"It's all part of the test. It's not so much what's happening, it's how you deal with what's happening. He's seeing what you're made of!"

I love this quote. A member shared it with us as we met with her and her husband. I think it explains our purpose in this life perfectly. We need to prove ourselves, our capabilities and what we are made of to our Heavenly Father and that is so cool and motivating to me at least!

Scriptures of the Week

 2 Nephi 4:26-35 

I am not going to type these up (click link above) because I forgot to bring these scriptures with me but please look them up and read them! They are incredible and they really make you think! I found them during personal study and they are so powerful and motivational! They are my new favorite scriptures~! :)

Stories of the Week

1. Destiny was baptized!!! It was of the best days ever! She was just beaming and the spirit was incredible! Her whole family came and none of them are members but they were tearing up a little bit and I know they felt the spirit. I am excited to follow up with that. We also had someone else we are teaching, Savannah, come to the baptism which was way cool. She doesn't really believe in God but she is reading the Book of Mormon and praying to know if God really is there. She felt good at the baptism and she was really happy for Destiny. I think Savannah will start progressing quickly and I am so excited for when she feels God's love and presence and gets her answer. We are fasting and praying that she will and I know it will be soon! I can't wait! 

We are teaching a few other people and that is going well. The branch is so awesome and more than happy to help out with fellow-shipping and going to teach with us. 

2.Someone else we have been teaching, Kirstie came to church on Sunday and she coming again this Sunday. She accepted the baptismal date of August 24th and I am super excited! She is ready and I am so happy to see her changing her life and learning more about this incredible gospel. 

We have had lots of really cool, spiritual experiences and I just love being a part of it. I love looking back and seeing how much I have already learned and grown and to see how far there is to go but to know that I always have help. I have come to love everyone around me and see them a little more like Heavenly Father sees them. 

Miracles of the Week

This week my miracle was yesterday. We had a training and there was so much stuff taught and so many great ideas. I loved every second of it but it is also hard because you realize how many things you need to improve on and it starts to feel a little overwhelming. But I realized yesterday that I just need to pick like 2 things right now to work on and take it one step at a time. As Sister Mitchell and I chose what we would work on, we noticed an immediate difference in our lessons and the Spirit that was there. We taught completely by the Spirit and focused on those we were teaching and exactly what they needed. 

It was so incredible to experience that and be a part of it because it made me feel so blessed to be able to be the Lord's mouthpiece and messenger and that I could feel the spirit testifying through me and the Lord helping me know what to say and how to help them. I decided I want to feel like that all the time and I am going to try harder and harder to always be like that wherever I go and whatever I do! :) Yesterday was the perfect day and I am so grateful for it! I love this area and I hope I don't get transferred but I know that wherever the Lord sends me is where I am needed and I am more than happy to do that! :)

Funny Story of the Week

Yesterday I got my first offer to marry a member's son! He is on his mission right now but gets home in like a year and she said she is going to keep track of me and have him look me up when we both get home. It was pretty funny and flattering and I just laughed because it was also a little awkward and I really didn't know what to say! :)

We just got transfer calls and Sister Mitchell and I are both staying here in London. But we are still going to transfers because Sister Mitchell is training again so we will have a new missionary and become a trio! I'm super excited because I love this area and I didn't want to leave! :) Anyways, all is well and everyone can start sending mail and packages to the same address, the one in London  on Claudia Dr. 

I love my mission and I am so grateful for everyday I get to live on this beautiful world and serve my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ! All is well and I will talk to you again soon!!!! Love and miss you all! 

Love always, 

Sister Britni Johnson

P.S Sorry this week's email is a little and scattered and all over the place!
