the MTC this week and I couldn't be more proud! Even though I'm kinda
bummed I won't see him for another 2 years.
But...I did it! I have officially made it one year in the mission!
It's weird, and an oddly anti climatic day because you kinda are just
doing what you've always been doing, but it's cool to be able to look
at where you were and where you are now. Sometimes, we don't quite
realize all the progress we've made since we've been making it
gradually. But it's there!
So I spent my one year mark, which was Friday, on exchanges with
Hermana Mecham, one of my friends from DC North! Since Hermana Tuttle and I are the only
sisters in the district, and live in a two man apartment, it was really
nice to see a familiar face, ask how everyone is doing, and learn lots
from her! She is an awesome hermana. We got some ice cream to
celebrate my year mark occasion :) we also now have an unintentional
pet! We came home for dinner Friday night and Hermana Mecham comes out
of the bathroom and says, "Hermana Johnson, we have fish." We had left
our apartment unlocked for a bit so the elders could drop off some
office chairs cause they were visiting our upstairs neighbor. Poor
choice. The zone leaders and our district leader decided to fill up
our bathtub with goldfish. They left some nice sticky notes around
telling us we are now "fishermen" just like the original 12 apostles.
Sadly only one is still living, and we are anxiously seeking an owner
since we are definitely not allowed to have any pets in the apartment.
Hna Mecham and I were dying laughing.
Other than that our week has been kinda off. We have taught SO many
street lessons, but have barely been able to see the people we
normally work with haha. But we had an awesome first lesson with this
lady named Marisol last night. She is from Honduras, and has had a lot
of friends who have been members, but never has gone to a church
herself. I love teaching Hondurans, one cause they're great, and two,
cause the church is so strong there. People always come here and tell
us of how impressed they were by the members there. But we taught
about the Restoration of the gospel, and the spirit was really strong.
Nothing too exciting, but as a missionary, really a great lesson with
the spirit is all you can ask for!
Just like the members of Honduras, I encourage all of you to be good
examples to those around you. You never know how many people are
watching, so let them know you're a member, and then live up to the
reputation! You will help so many missionaries down the road by being
an example and inviting others to come to church.
Les quiero muchísimo! Y espero que tengan buenas semanas donde sea que
se encuentren. Yo sé que Nuestro Padre Celestial nos ama, y que
Jesucristo vive! Hasta la próxima semana!
