Dear, Family
Wow It's Almost December what a wonderful time of year where we are able to reflect back on the true meaning of this time. Christ may not have been born on the 25th of December but it's a time when we has Christians should reflect the meaning of The Birth of Christ! It's such an Important prophecy that was fulfilled when Christ was born of the virgin Mary! Who came out from the tribe of Judua. For me when I think of the Birth of Christ I not only think of the him lowly in a stable but I think of his work and ministry among the Children of men. I Ponder his atonement. I've been studying a bit about Adam and Eve which by the way is super interesting. But the scripture in 2 Nephi 2:25 Is just so powerful. "Adam Fell that Men might be and Men are that they might have joy" The Atonement of Christ, the Fall of Adam and Eve, and The Creation are so entirely connected if it wasn't for one we can't have the other. If we are to understand the Atonement more fully and the necessity of his Birth, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. We have to understand the need for Creation and The Fall of our first Parents. I love you all and pray that you will take this wonderful opportunity this month to fully reflect on our Savior Jesus Christ. I know that as we do our commitment to be more righteous will burn within us. I pray that as I do more to focus on Christ that my own commitment will begin to burn brighter and with a more fervent heat. Well this week has been alright Elder Parker and I have been sick with a virus! Aghaha. and because of that our week has been slow. Funny experience though so Toowoomba Elders had a baptism. But their investigator lived in our area. And we should have been teaching her but they did, but to just skip long story we will just continue. So as far as I know everything had been worked out and the baptism was a go and she was going to be baptized into Toowoomba ward. But the night before her baptism the Zone leaders call me and tell me so are you going to be at the baptism? I replayed no usually you wouldn't unless you had an investigator going. We the Zone Leaders with bad info thought she was going to be baptized into are ward and they gave me the job to make sure she was baptized in our ward. So me just being obedient and doing what I was told made calls and misinforming people that she was going to be baptized in our ward. Boy I thought I was doing the right thing trying to figure all this out. But I then received a call from President Henderson He asked me "Elder I have been communicating back and forth with the bishops and stake president about this girl and her baptism everything has been sorted out. Now unless you know more info then I please tell." Well you probably could Imagine me and how bad I felt. I replied "NO NO President Henderson I was just doing what I was told." Everything was worked out and the baptism when Awesome. Anyways I'm still not sure the lesson I have learned yet but I just wish I wasn't the cause of so much confusions is stinks being so. I love you all take care stay in good health! Good luck and My the Holy Ghost be your guild!
Love,
Elder Johnson
