So This is What a Mission is....

Hey fam and friends!

first off I would like to say CONGRATS to my newly engaged best friend Faith and her fiance Mitch. I cried alligator tears over it haha. I am so excited for pictures!!

Sister Johnson and Sister Young

anyway, I got my companion on Tuesday! her name is sister young. she has been out for five months. she's very giggly, and exactly obedient. so I'm getting whipped into shape (: we are serving in winter garden! smaller town and an old town too. the previous sisters did a lot of finding so we have been working on meeting those that are interested. also lots of inactive people. everyone has been very friendly! especially the ward members! we had dinner with a family my first night in the area that has 6 kids. the little boy that is 10 came to pick us up with his mom and automatically reminded me of my little brother camron. it was a tender mercy for me and a comfort. he's now my favorite little boy here and we are bffs. 😊

My favorite little boy!! the family is the sweetest 

Travel companions!

We are meeting with a sweet new convert named Maci. she's 19 and is struggling with some mental health issues. she has a really good heart and good desires so keep her in your prayers.

I got to introduce myself in sacrament today and give a talk on being humble! I did it with no notes so that was really cool..!! God is good. I'm working on Christlike attributes and it's actually so amazing to study.
A thought that came to my mind was a reminder of how cool it is to have a straight year and a half to love people, teach & baptize, work on goals, fix weaknesses, and learn to trust in god. I've really been working on letting go of my pride and acknowledge the saviors power and mercy. this past week has been a huge eye opener!!

Florida!

My first area is a car share. We have to bike every other week but I love it! Thanks mom and dad for the nice bike. 

The new bike! Nice helmet - safety first!

I also have prayed in a grocery store with a random man, my companion got hit by a truck (she's alive)..miracles and angels are real.

Thanks so much to everyone that writes me throughout the week. it was a week of adjustment and tears, so it was nice to read emails of encouragement and love. y'all are the best. (Florida is the south and they alllllllllll have accents here haha)

I'm excited to see where things go. but I'm lucky to be here. (: it's a good week to be a missionary!!

Xoxo,
Sister Johnson
