Dear Family,
Boy time is just zooming along. Well late Saturday night my companion was texting someone on the phone when we then received a call from the AP. Oh no my heart dropped to know he was on the phone with the Ap. He then asked for me! Boy I wasn't super excited to be told that my flight out would be Monday afternoon. I love Rocky but I know that the Lord has need for me elsewhere. But I did find out my New Area It's in the Sunshine Coast, Budrim!!! My Companion is Elder Chhouen I still haven't met him yet but I'm excited! This week we were able to spent a bit of time with the Davey Family (family of 10). Did service for them for 4 hours and it was really good they prolonged some needed yard maintenance when the Cyclone came. So we did a lot of weed pulling and weed wacking Super fun to do some Good Hard Work!!! They had us over for dinner yesterday and they were devastated to hear I was getting transferred. They said thanks to you Mom and Dad for raising a wonderful son. I don't think I am but that what they said, But that night before I left they had a bin full of Smelly Bellies and they passed it around and we were told to grab a few. Then they placed the bin in the middle of the room. and going from youngest to oldest we were to say something Positive, happy, uplifting, or Grateful for. All of them throw one in for how much they appreciated Elder Ma'unoa and me. It was so hard to fight back the tears. Gonna miss this family. It's hard when you have to leave those that love you. But That's my week I know the Church is True and I know that As we follow the Teachings of Christ we can find Lasting Happiness and Joy. The World can only bring temporal Gratification and Pleasure. But True Joy is felt in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love you all have a wonderful Week!!!
Love,
Elder Johnson
