Good Morning everyone!!!!

This week was fabulous!!

The main highlight was I finished the Book of Mormon once again on my mission and it was incredible! I took Moroni's challenge again to reaffirm my testimony and the next day we spent basically the entire day testifying about the book of Mormon. It was really cool because it was Heavenly Father's way of answering my prayer by allowing and helping me to answer others prayers! He truly is amazing and I love him!!! The best part about it was the first lesson we had was with a man named William who has been reading the Book of Mormon for awhile now and Spent a decent amount of time bearing his own testimony about the Book of Mormon. He said that it has truly changed his life and saved him at a time that was most critical in his life. He is beginning to see the many ways he is being changed and blessed enormously through reading the Book of Mormon and it was the coolest thing to heat and be a part of!

Every time I hear someone I am teaching bear testimony and see the changes being made in their lives, it strengthens my testimony so much more than ever before and is solidly grounding me in the gospel and the things I know to be true with all my heart!! I love every part about being a missionary because I get to spend literally 24/7 thinking, pondering, praying, fasting, talking, teaching and testifying about our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and how much he loves each and every one of us! This is seriously the best job in the entire world and I am eternally grateful for it!!! :)

Miracle of the Week 

There is a couple in our ward where the woman is a member but her boyfriend is not. He has been coming to church for the last few months but the only hold up was they don't speak English and neither of us speak Spanish! But a member in our ward, who served a Spanish speaking mission, texted us yesterday and said she really feels like she needs to ask Carlos if he wants to of is willing to take the lessons. So we went over with her yesterday just for a minute and she asked him and he said yes! We are meeting with them tonight at 5 and I am so excited to see what happens! It will certainly be interesting because the member will be translating and I have never done this before on my mission but I am super excited and sure it will be an incredible experience!!! This is the miracle we have been praying for!! 

Well, I love you all and hope things are going well! Have another fabulous week!! :)

Love always, Sister Johnson :)

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

So the verdict with transfers was that I got transferred and am now in Delaware, OH which is more the north part of the mission! And as you can see, Ohio is notorious for copying other places in the world instead of coming up with their own names! :) It's great though and I love it here! My new companion is Sister King and she is kind of amazing! We get along so well and we are already having a blast together! The one struggle is that we are both super spacey and forget things a lot so hopefully Heavenly Father can help us turn that weakness into a strength!!! :) 

So this is it, the beginning of the end. I can't believe I only have 6 weeks left!! Everyone keeps asking me how long I have been out and then they freak out when they find out I am almost done and got transferred for my last 6 weeks! Then they start to talk all about home and ask me about my plans etc. It is so incredibly annoying seeing as I am still in denial that I am going home and completely refuse to think about it!


I have decided that I am going to take it day by day and live in the moment as much as possible. The most important thing in the world to me right now is finishing my mission as strong as possible and give it absolutely everything I have left! I want to be so exhausted out of my pants because that will be proof that I am giving it every last little bit I possibly have to give!!! I want nothing more than for my sacrifice to be acceptable to the Lord and to be able to say that I gave it my all! That I truly served Him with all my might, mind and strength and my whole soul!!! I am so excited because this is the perfect place to do it!


The ward is on fire, the members are incredible, our bishop is so unified with the work and Sister King has an incredible greenie fire! With her fire and my experience, we are gonna completely take off and not look back. She is truly a blessing because she is pushing and motivating me so much more than ever before! She is helping me reach potential I didn't even know I had and I have had it confirmed to me over and over that this is where I need to be! I can't believe who I have become and what is happening to me but I am changing so much and I love every second of it!! This life truly is the time to prepare to meet God and I feel that every second of everyday as I prepare and push myself to no end!!! Life is so great and I am so grateful and excited to live up every single last possible second on my mission! I have not felt this kind of drive in a long time and it feels so rejuvenating and empowering!!!! I love the Lord with everything I have and I am willing to sacrifice everything I have and am for Him and this great work!!!

I am so excited to work my little butt off and be able to start sharing the miracles and different things that I know will happen in this area!!! Things are super good and I am absolutely lovin life here in good ol' Ohio!! I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week! Keep pushing forward and remember "Above all, never lose faith in your Father in Heaven who loves you more than you can comprehend!!!" :)

Love always, Sister Britni Johnson :)
