Many are Called, But few are Frozen

This week was sweet, I don' have much time, but this week I learned the Importance of Humility. Simply defined Humility is Recognising the Lord's hand in our lives (our Blessings), and relying on him in our day to day stuff. Life is literally so awesome! God is our Father in Heaven. He asks us to to become as little children. Well what does that Mean? for myself I found that God wants us to literally rely on him as we are literally his children! we can't do this on our own, that would be crazy, and he simply asks that we rely on him. Also Think for yourself, what is the purpose of prayer? and Why does it matter if we involve multiple people in Fasting and prayer for a specific purpose? I found a sweet help in looking in the Bible dictionary for that! Check it out. (PS. If we truly Understand and Recognize our relationship with God, Prayer becomes a natural communication) So a member had invited us to help him move, so that we could invite his friend to test the message of the restoration. We could not due to meetings, and missed an awesome opportunity. I Prayed that we might be able to contact these individuals still, and that prayer was answered last night! We were going around digging cars out who got stuck out in the storm, and found a guy stuck on an on ramp. We worked hard with him and did get his car out after a good 40 minutes. and the lord blessed our efforts, it was one of the members Bro's! Prayer works. Canada is Snowy

The Church is True

So yes this Church is truly Christ's Church Restored to the earth Today! It's so interesting to meet so many people who are looking for something, and yup, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints has what they are looking for. This morning we were so blessed, we had the opportunity to clean the temple! We are so spoiled in this area. This Area has the most active members, and we drive past the temple like 3 times a day. Everytime we tell someone where our church is "You know that Big White building with the Golden Angel on top?" and they always answer excitedly "Oh! I love that building" or "Oh, I've been in there!" (Which surprised me at first, I forgot about the whole open house thing) Well I wish I had some sweet stories from this week, but I can't think of any specific experieces. I know this week will bring something sweet. I love you all Elder Johnson

Napoleon to my Dynamite

Well all I can really say in 4 days is this I Had A child this week. His name is Elder Fullmer. We enjoy our time as missionaries too much now, with our Mexican Canadian accents. My Son, Elder Fullmer, Is such a stud. He is the Stephen to my Nacho, the Pedro to my Napoleon, the Weird Al to my Spatula City. We Just Crack Each other Up, and Life is great. When we talk about the gospel though, we get down to business. We Testify from our hearts, and work whole-Heartedly to bless the lives of those we speak with and teach. We Had a Baptism on Friday, We baptized our 2 Investigators, Mary and her Daughter Marissa, and the sisters baptized their Investigator Dolores. They each had such a strong desire to be baptized! It was such a blessing to be there and witness the Joy they experienced in making these covenants with God, and making the steps necessary to come closer to Him. The Rest of the week we were busy traveling people around for transfers, it was a busy week. Its pretty fun to just talk to people all day, It's exhausting at times, but we meet some very interesting people! After surge week, and my study of consecration I finally lost myself like I just wasn't myself. I was a bonified Missionary machine! Well I am finding myself, who I truly am, and what is truly important to me. It can be brutal out here, especially since I have been a bit of a perfectionist. It is so Important that we recognize our interests, and take the time to work through them with God I love you all, and I want to invite you to Come unto Christ a little more, by Praying With a sincere Heart. 😊 As we strive to be more honest and Open with our prayers, and we take the time to do so, I know God will Bless our Efforts!
