Bonjour family and friends!
This week we started off by going "porting" (knocking on doors). We ended up meeting this really cool family! The mom actually was an exchange student in Idaho when she was 14. She said she actually knows about the Mormons but she only thought that there were Elder missionaries. She asked if we wanted to come back sometime and have dinner with their family! Such a miracle.
We ended up having another miracle in the same neighborhood! We had a referral from the St. George visitor center in the neighborhood so we decided to stop by. Luckily, they were home and they even let us in! We talked with them for awhile and we asked if we could come back the next week. The problem is that they are going to visit family in Italy and they could potentially be gone for a couple months. The husband is Italian so we were able to have a fun conversation about Italy and I told him about the places I visited this past summer. They said that we could definitely pass by again when they get back. I will probably be transferred by the time they get back so I will have to have the other Soeurs pass by again. They found out about the church because they went to St. George and went to the temple. They were very intrigued about our beliefs and wanted to learn more. Even though I am sad that they are leaving for so long, I am glad I got the chance to meet them!
We had a lesson with one of our Amis that was found contacting on the road. She came to one of our activities a couple weeks ago. We had our first lesson with her this past week. She is a young college student and is Catholic at base. She said she is interested in looking at other religions. We taught her the restoration and she seemed pretty receptive. She is super sweet and nice! We have another lesson with her next week.
The biggest miracle of the week was on Sunday! The family that we have been teaching that was suppose to come on church on Sunday didn't end up showing up. We had 5 minutes left at the end of relief society and I stood up and walked out the back door because I needed to go the front to make an announcement. When I walked out the door I looked to the right and the family was walking into the church building!! They had messed up the time they were supposed to come. Even though they missed church it was still a good experience because we were able to introduce them to the members. We gave them a tour of the church and they said that this next Sunday they will come!! We have a lot of great things coming up in the next couple weeks/months. There is so much potential and work to do here! Thanks for all your love and support. Have a wonderful week!
Love, Soeur Johnson
