Hey family,
I hope you are enjoying the start of the Holidays, Here in the philippines I don't think they have turkey, lots of chicken, and rice, but not a true turkey, I'm feeling a little sick, its been the past few days, I got a little food poisoning, it really got me down, and i'm trying to think back on what happened this week, but it all seems like a blur,
I remember! It was a really good solid week of work, Nanay Butardo was baptized. She is amazing, her testimony was so strong, there wasn't a dry eye in the room, I'm so excited for her to live in the happiness that the gospel will bring to her. It was really sad to me that even after being invited several times, after saying to us several times they were coming, they didn't show up, not a single one, she was there on one of the most special days of her life both now and in eternity without anyone in her family there to witness the greatness and simplicity of that ordinance, She said in her testimony that if she didn't believe with all her heart that the Book of Mormon was true and that this is what god wanted her to do, it would be harder for her that her family wasn't there, but she knows, and it was amazing for me to hear, she knows, and its not from us, but she knows from her reading of the Book of Mormon and the confirmations of the Holy Ghost of the absolute truth of this gospel. Her family will realize how amazing it is as they see the changes taking place in Sisters life, as they see the powers of godliness that weren't there before begin to work within her, and I know there will come a day when the Butardo family is sealed in the temple. Nanay wont allow it not to happen. I hope we get the opportunity to teach them!
The work is going well here in Lopez, were seeing miracles in the Zone, Its amazing, honestly, we set goals, and got a vision, and now everyone's working towards something, they have an aim, it makes the work, and life alot better when you keep a perspective, when you have that vision. Luckily the gospel gives us a great one, an eternal one, in gods plan for us to become just like him. As we keep it and base every thing we do off of it, it makes it alot easier to choose the right, and were not alone in that path to become like him, we have the Atonement that can give us its enabling power, its there to help, I've felt it in my life, and the only thing we need to do is as we live worthy, ask for it. Don't ask God to change your situation, ask to have Christs atonement help you to overcome your situation. Its amazing what it can do.
I hope your all well! Thanks for giving me the Inspiration to do what I do.
Love You,
Elder Johnson
