Dear, Family
This week has been good we were able to find 6 new sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father I'm so excited to begin to know them better and to help them receive the wonderful gospel! I know it's true! We had this week a quite a bit happen which has brought growing experiences. Just this last week we as a zone were able to make mission history. We all exceeded the Hastening the Work Goals for Finding and New Investigators. The Mission President was a bit happy and told Elder and Sister Richens to treat us to Ice Cream. So after District Meeting they took us for lunch. One of the Ladies we are teaching is Adel she is older in he mid 40's. But boy she has explained a bit of her past to us and she has had a rough marriage. And we were able to just talk to her and helper her know Heavenly Father is there and that she can find lasting peace and joy in Christ. We also had an experience I thought just would never happen. While Finding we came across this man who in the past had bad experience with missionaries. We talked with him told him we were sorry that you had an experience like that. He was kind but just seemed real thrown off. As we were beginning to walk away them man closed his screen door and screamed to "GO AWAY" the man came out chasing us away which is normal we continued to walk toward the end of his pathway then he ran up to Elder Parker and just slugged him in the back. Boy!!!!!........ I was so scared for the mans life I ran up to Parker and had to walk him away. Then the man threatened to call the cops. Just really stupid we didn't understand why. But As I ponder and the following event clearly help me to know why. After that I was thinking maybe we should just take a break from finding for a moment. but in my heart felt we should just keep knocking. He met David he is the man's Neighbor. David is scientist and we had a powerful lesson with him and we spoke on the incredible gift of Agency and the plan of Salvation. The Lord with show and do miracles after the trail of your faith. I love you all have a good week! When the going gets tough stay faithful! You will see the hand of the Lord!!!
Love,
Elder S. Johnson
