Dear, Family

 This Week has been a good one. Last P-Day we Played Basketball at a park just near the Beach. As we were playing we had 5 random people show up and start playing with us was heaps of fun was able to get a real good intense work out for about 4 hours straight!  A couple of weeks ago we were door knocking and we met this man his name is Les and he is really cool was super kind and was a bit drunk. But we were able to talk with him a bit about the gospel and we listened to him … a lot. But before we left he had insisted that we come back later next week and have dinner so we set up a time. And We had Dinner with him and his partner Jana this week. They made the best chicken I’ve had in a long time! And some awesome roasted Potatoes, pumpkin, and Sweet Potato. The Secret it was baked in Duck Fat Yummy. But as we were there he showed us all around his Flat and all the little projects he had Vortex Water Dispenser, BBQ Spa, and a Worm Farm. Was really cool! This guy the best way to describe him is to say he’s a Very Creative and Weird Spiritually Lost man. But was a wonderful Evening and he invited us back again so hopefully we will be able to begin the discussions with him. I’ve had some experiences with following promptings just little things like the spirit tell us to knock a certain street and finding a bunch of people who invite us back or seem they need the gospel. So super excited for these next couple of days to follow up with them and see some miracles.  I know that God loves all of us. I was able Teach Gospel Principles class this Sunday on Charity. Was really good for me Sometimes you don’t know what you’re going to do especially if it’s last minute notice that you’re going to teach. But I love the spirit which helps in times of weakness and prompts and strengthens. I just love to share as we follow the Promptings of the Spirit our Heavenly Father Teaches and reconfirms Powerful Truths. I know God Loves us! His vision is perfect and looks past all weakness and imperfection and sees us for our potential. He has the perfect ability to hate the Sin and to Love the Sinner.  As we can truly develop the type of vision our Heavenly Father Has we can truly learn to love as he does.

I MET AN APOSTLE!!!

 This week has been really slow but also very busy if that makes any sense. Missionary work wise I felt like we didn't have a lot of time to work which is always frustrating. But on the up side this Friday we traveled down to Brisbane to a mission Conference with Neil L. Anderson. It' was so good took ages to have the whole mission shake his hand over 30 minutes Big Mission. When It came to my turn I looked at him in the eye which are like bluish green color and Said Elder Johnson Serving from Tooele, Ut he said nice to meet you. Was A Awesome Experience. But what I learn most about this whole Experience is that He is a normal man with a divine calling! I was listening to a talk that helps me to understand the calling of Prophets. There was a man who said that the Prophet was so kind to him. and a boy came up to him and said he has to he's the Prophet. Then the man replied is he Christlike because he's a Prophet, or is he a Prophet because he is so very Christlike. I know that as we emulate the life of the Savior in all that we do that our Heavenly Father can use us in Hastening his work here on the Earth. This Life is all about becoming. "Be ye Therefore Perfect Even as you Father in Heaven is Perfect" We are perfected Through Grace. I have come to know that becoming take time and The leaders of the Church have Lived their lives in such a way that they emulate the Savior. I just hope I can do the same I no where near where I need to be and never will be in this life. but I want to strive to be as "he is".

Last Skype of the week...WHAT?!?!

Dear, Family 

 The time just flies by I know I say that heaps but it does I just don't understand where the precious time has gone. You get so Caught up in the work that you don't even notice the time passes and by the time it gets dark you have this just confused feeling of I don't even know. But yeah. Anyways this week was fun it rained a lot and It's so much fun door knocking in the rain No one lets you it they look at you like a wet dog and either insult you or politely let you back in the rain. I love Hard Yakka! But this week we had Stake Conference and President Henderson spoke at it and he then during his talk told all the missionaries in the congregation to stand in the front of the stand in 15 seconds. So we quickly walked to the front and had about 800 people staring at us as we powerfully delivered "My Missionary Comission" But I was able to really reflect and ponder is week on things regarding my spiritual Growth. I've grown heaps from when I first came out I went from terrified, young, baby face Elder Johnson to a Scared less baby face and a bit older More grown up Elder Johnson. I'm Grateful for the power of the Atonement and what it has done in my own life. I Ponder back and have thought deeply I haven't been able to convert many to the Gospel but As I've helped others come closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ I've found myself come closer them. I Love the Gospel it's true I love it. Thanks for all you do I'll talk to you next week!! :)
