we had a lesson with this guy named Francisco, we have been teaching him for a minute and every time its been in his doorway because his wife wasn't home, and we cant go into a house unless their is a girl over 18. so this was just another door conversation, but I will talk about him later.
then we got a referral, and it was like 30 minutes away, so we drove to the house and it was the wrong address, but we saw this guy out in the trees. it was in like wine country so their were a bunch of grape vines and it has been raining every day here so it was very muddy and his truck was stuck in the mud. so we walked over there and asked him if he needed help. and he was like no. but he ended up speaking Spanish and so we talked to him for like 30 minutes in the pouring rain about the gospel and about how wonderful the book of Mormon is and how much it could help him in his life. he thought that it was cool and wanted to learn more.
so it was amazing!!
also we think that the referral we got might live next door to the house we had gone to so we are going back another day.
we got a new Hermana in our house she is so cute she is the 3 oldest of 15!!! so it really crazy she has had a crazy life each siblings is 1 year apart for the most part. but she is so small she is like 4'10 and weighs like 85 pounds she said so she is smaller than Kate.
then we had a lesson with flor. it is so cool to talk to people who haven't always had the holy ghost because for me its just kinda always been there but to see poeple who notice a huge difference in their lives because they didn't have it before is so cool. she has had so many crazy experiences recently with the holy ghost and its so cool to talk to her and see what blessings she is receiving in her life.
then on Wednesday we had a lesson with Francisco and his wife rosalba we got there and he let us in and we had a really good lesson with him and his wife about the Book of Mormon.
he has been reading the book of Mormon and he said he doesn't understand that much ( which makes sense because the book of Mormon in Spanish is kinda hard to understand its written really differently than the form of Spanish we use now) but he said even though he doesn't understand he knows its good and that it is the word of god and him and his wife want to learn more.
then on this night!!! we locked the key in the car. HAHA its not like i have ever done this before... but any way we had to call the car guy and it was going to take him about an hour to get there. so we just tracted in the rain. and it was a miracle, we had a lot of lessons planned this night so if we didn't lock the key in the car we would have gone to these lessons and we wouldn't have met so many people. we made 4 new friends (which are people who we share the gospel with, we ask them to do something like read the book of Mormon or a pamphlet, and then we have a return appointment with them). it was so cool then we made 1 friend for the english missionaries so we made 5 in total. it was so wonderful we got to talk to so many people. and we got our car unlocked right at 7 just in time for our last lesson.
then i went on split with another hermana this day so that was fun.
on Friday we had interviews with President Hymas.
his wife went on a walk with each of us. they are really sweet i love them,. they are definitely mission parents .it so cool to have them.
then that night we went tracting, we met a Hmong family they were so nice, they believe in Shamanism which is really popular here and it was cool because these people knew what they believe in . most people we ask what is that they are like i don't know it just what we believe its a tradition, but they were hard core in it. its really really interesting look it up if you have time, you can also send me more information on it if you want. then we met this one guy who was like 19 and he didn't believe in anything at all most people when they say they are atheist at least believe in a higher power but he believed in absolutely nothing. we asked him if he knew why he was here on the earth and he said to have fun, and then where he was going after he dies he said this is it. it was really sad to see that because he said he wasn't that happy and its because he doesn't know his purpose here on earth. that is one of my favorite things to teach is why we are here on this earth and where we are going after. we know that our purpose is to learn and grow, we also know that we are never alone.
then we went to a baby shower this day it was huge their were like 70 people there they had way loud music like a dj type thing it was crazy. but the lady is a member and her husband is not and we have been trying to teach him because he knows the church is true, he just isn't ready.
then we had a family home evening lesson
then yesterday we had a fireside in stockton it was like 40 minutes away but it was so cool and so much fun. then after we went a visited a less active member and she gave us a ton of food.
That’s it for this week.
Love, Hermana Johnson
