Hey Family,
It was another crazy week here in the office, Were all over the place, were a moving company and a refrigerator repair shop, were the referral managers as well as budget consultants. Each day I learn something new and sometimes the days just throw a new adventure at you, This week we moved out a whole apartment and loaded it onto our ford ranger, It was a great time to think back to the knots I learned in scouting, We added about 5 feet of vertical height to our truck, but managed to get the whole apartment loaded, and make the 6 hour drive back to the mission home dodging low hanging power lines as we went. IO cant imagine the look on some drivers faces as we barreled down the canyon with 4 mattresses strapped on top of some desks blowing around in the wind. We felt a little bit like the minivan on the movie "Cars" with its hazards on, reving up to pass the big semi truck.
I have to say, Its not the most spiritual thing in the world to lift a fridge from an apartment to our truck, sometimes the spirit dosent whisper to you as strong while your entering travel reimbursements into the computer for the past meeting as when your teaching a lesson, but through it all I know that its still the Lords work.
I think the Lord wants me to gain a better respect of what happens behind the scenes of the church, he's given me a taste of the ministering duties of the church, and now he really wants to help me understand the administering duties, The ones that really aren't to public, the jobs no one really knows that are happening, but really do help the work progress. You always need office Elders, and I'm excited that the Lord wanted me to do that for him, I think there's alot I can learn, there's alot of ways that we can run the mission more effectively, and I know that if I really throw all I have into this position, through prayer and faith god will show those ways to us and we can really make a difference not only as ministers, but as administers in his kingdom.
I got your letters! Thanks for that, Its always fun, each of us in the apartment enjoyed the "hugs" from Bailee and Aimee
I feel healthy safe and blessed
I love you!
Elder Johnson
