This week has been lot of fun I spent the first 3 days with the Zone leaders Elder Smith and Elder T. Johnson. They were a blast and we got to smash there area. But we also drove heaps on Wednesday when I picked up my companion we drove literally like all day. and The Nambor got white washed and Sisters were put in and Sister Gale First time in Australia got to drive Was super scary and funny I have never seen someone get honked at more then she did in my life. I felt so bad for her I just wanted to drive the car back for her, but it was a obstacle that she had to overcome. It was funny every turn she would turn on the windshield wipers. But they made it safe. I got my New Companion Elder Leach He is from Adelaide, Mt. Barker He Is my First Australian companion and is easy to get along with. He is a great missionary excited to do the work and he has a lot of the same weaknesses as me when I came out. It's great cause I can relate to him pretty well and help him to overcome and face many of those challenges. He has good memory which is something that I don't so He learns super quick. Their also as been alot of picking up in the Lords vineyard here. We had a miracle this Sunday We had only expected 2 of our investigators to come to church. But we had 10 non members come and 6 of which were our investigators I couldn't believe it the lord has helped us so much we set up appointments with many for a return appointment! The Lord is preparing his Area and we have been able to get in contact with many which have been hard to see. Blessing are coming. I believe it's because of the Faith of the Members we have been trying to see many of the members encouraging them to keep the commandment found in Alma 6:6 Which is to pray for Those you don't know God. Over the past 2 weeks things have just been picking up and I know it's because the Lord is starting to trust us and the members with these Elect souls. But we did have bummer to this Our investigators Les and Jana came to Church which was awesome. But he later gave us a call and expressed his desire to not join a church he feels he can't associate with an organization. Only if he truly understood what the role of the church is. If anything it accelerates our growth and brings us closer to god. But this man thinks very Highly of us and told us that we are great boys! It's hard to see him reject what we know will help him. But we have come to be good friends and in his phone call to me he said if you and your Wife ever need a place to stay just come and we will go and vacation and you can have the house to yourself for 3 day, 3 weeks, or even 3 months. This guy is super loving and it's just so hard to see him push away that which he needs. I know the Church is True It's the vehicle that we must follow in order to return back to our Heavenly Father. Because with in it are the saving ordinance of Salvation which must be preformed by the Priesthood! God Lives and Love each of us!
Love,
Elder S. Johnson
