Hello everyone!!

This last week was super duper good!!!! We taught Jason the Plan of Salvation and put him on date to get baptized on November 15th!!! His 9 year old son (Landon)  also really wants to get baptized and has been reading the kids version of the Book of Mormon and loves what he is learning! We are hoping to get permission from Landon's mom to start teaching him and then hopefully Jason can get the priesthood soon and baptize him! That would be like the coolest thing ever!!

Other exciting news! I found out that someone I taught in Madison Lake almost the entire time I was there is finally quitting smoking and is scheduled to get baptized on November 22nd, 2014! All kinds of exciting things happening here!

Lastly, another set of sisters in our zone met a girl named Aligia at Wal-mart last week. They found out they lived in our area so they set up for us to go by and teach them which didn't work out. But they invited them to church this Sunday so that morning we went by to take them muffins for breakfast and have them follow us to church. We ended up being 20 minutes late to church and missing the sacrament but it was awesome because not only did Aligia and her boyfriend come, but her boyfriend's parents decided they wanted to come as well so we had a whole slew of people at church with us! 

They really liked it and want to come back next Sunday! It was super awesome and we ended up getting the sacrament after church so that was good too. It was super cool thought because so many members of the ward came up to introduce themselves to Aligia and her family and I really think it made a difference because they felt really welcome and loved by so many complete strangers!!

Things are still going great here and I am actually really enjoying being on a bike every other week! It gives me the opportunity to get some exercise, fresh air, and enjoy the beautiful fall colors and fall weather!! Life is sooooo good!!!!!

Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!! :)

Love, Sister Britni Johnson :)

Hello everyone!!

There is so much to write this week that I don't really know where to begin. Last week I had like the best week ever!!

Monday - We had interviews with our mission president!

Tuesday - I got to go back to Xenia on an exchange and I saw a lot of people I taught and knew really well!

Wednesday - We had our first lesson with Jason. I think I talked a little about Jason last time. He is a really good friend of a family in our ward, the Gullions. He has been reading the Book of Mormon for the last 2 months and just finished Helaman a few days ago. He has come to church for the last 5 Sundays in a row and we finally started teaching him. We had our first lesson on Wednesday and it went so well!!! I am super excited about teaching him. Then Wednesday night we got permission from our mission president to go with a member of our ward to get her patriarchal blessing for support and stuff. It was super awesome and I am so glad I was able to be a part of it!!

Thursday - We went to the temple!!!!! It was so beautiful and uplifting and I have definitely been needing it for quite awhile now!! I love the temple so much! Thursday night we taught Jason again and extended baptism and he accepted!!

Friday - nothing huge happened on Friday

Satruday - The elders in our ward had a baptism and Jason came!! We did a chapel tour right before and invited him to pray about baptism.

Sunday - Jason and his 3 boys came to church. It was the primary program and his 9 and 5 year old were able to participate which was awesome!!!

Today - I got a random package in the mail. It was from the Morris family in Arizona. Basically, this woman (Lori) has a son serving in our mission and she emailed our mission president's wife and said she would like to get to know some of the other missionaries serving here in our mission. So the mission president's wife, Sister Daines, gave her my name and address and she sent me a package full of candy and super cute Halloween stuff!!! It made my whole day and topped off an incredible week!!!

Heavenly Father has been spoiling me so much lately but I am so incredibly grateful for every bit of it!! I know he is aware of each of us and is watching over us!! He has all kinds of blessings ready to shower down on each of us, our duty is to have faith and trust in Him and allow Him to lead, guide and bless us in every aspect of our lives!! I am so grateful to be here on my mission and for all the things I am learning day after day!! The church is true and we are so incredibly blessed to be a part of it!!!


I love you all and hope you have a fabulous week full of happiness and love!!!

Love always, Sister Britni Johnson :)

Hello!!!

So I have like no time this week so super quick updates!!

I popped a tire on our car on Wednesday. On Saturday I had a major pain in my butt that we decided must have been a pinched nerve but it prevented me from even being able to walk. So we had to stay in and I had to get crutches so I didn't have to keep hopping around our apartment. Sunday morning I was still on crutches for church but after church we came home and took a 4 hour nap and when I woke up I was totally fine again and everything was great! Super random but funny at the same time! :)

Miracle for the Week 

We have a family in our ward that has been working with a friend and he has been coming to church for the last 5 weeks. They came up to us yesterday and asked us to come over to dinner with them on Wednesday to start teaching him!! He is super duper awesome and we are so excited to start teaching him!! It's gonna be great and I will definitely update you next week!!!

Lastly, we get to go to the temple on Thursday and I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!!!

Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!!!

Love always, Sister Johnson
