Dear, Family
So sorry for not emailing last week we had transfers and the way they did it was weird they have stopped transfer meeting so we no longer meet and the Karawatha Chapel and get are new companion we just go straight to our new area. But I stayed her in Rocky but when Elder Gilbert left my new companion wasn't going to come until 4:30 pm. So what I did is I got premission from President Henderson to Drive across town by myself to be with the Davey Family until Elder Ma'unoa came we played board game heaps of fun but I want able to email. But the funniest part is that Emerald An area in are district Elder Derhak companion got transferred so Right as soon as I got my companion we had to drive four hours to get to Emerald just before 9:00 pm so that was fun when then spent the night there and in the morning did service for this lady for 2 hours who was moving units from one side of the complex to the other but the whole time we moved all we moved were Plants, pots, and dirt. This 87 year old lady had like a nursery for plants in her back yard was just crazy how many plants there were. Then We Traveled back to Rocky (4 Hours) then we worked with Elder Derhak for 5 days Trio Companionship. Super awkward when doing the work. But it was hard cause I don't know the area that well it's huge! so we did lots of driving. But this week we set 2 baptismal dates on with John Hots who has been investigating the church for 8 years. And he went from $30 dollars a day smoker to Cold Turkey! All because of the Grace of Christ and because of the strengthen he received he was able to finally understand the process of faith. So his date if for the 5th of March. Lina is the other date and she is 15 years old and has been coming to church for a long time but her parents weren't letting her get baptized until now so we have been teaching her and we set a date for her on the 27th of February. But we also have been teaching an investigator his name is Simon and we have had 2 very powerful lessons with him where the spirit has testified to him of our message. We had set a baptismal invitation with him and he was really excited to come to church. Even later that day he texted us that he really enjoyed the lesson. But when Sunday came before the Sacrament he texted and said that he no longer felt comfortable with what we had shared and told us he didn't want anything to do with us. Broke my heart to know that someone who has received a witness of truth and to denied it. I hate Anti Mormon Literature Because of the Falsehoods that it spreads it's Destructive power when read by those who are beginning to grow in faith. The Words of Moroni are true When he told Joseph that God had a work for him to do and that his name should be had for good and evil among all nations, Kindred's , and tongues, and that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people. The words are true which Moroni spoke. many will spread these falsehoods, lies, and Miss understanding about the Prophet Joseph Smith. and many will clam that he was a wicked man, a false prophet, Deceiver, Attention hogged zealot. But I know that he is a Prophet of God and that he was called to do a work. His name is know for good and evil. But I know that his name is good and that he is good. We can see by the Fruits which are now present with in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and The Book Of Mormon. I know that this work is true!
Love,
Elder Sterling Jaden Johnson
P.s if you are wondering I lost my Badge like 3 weeks ago that way I don't have one waiting for the mission to send me the ones I ordered in October! They are coming by snail mail.
