Give Me the Keys
So Saturday, Both Elder Fullmer and I were feeling pretty sick. We are devoted missionaries though, so no matter how we felt we went to work! By dinner time Elder Fullmer felt better, and I felt way worse, I crashed and took a nap the whole dinner hour, which is just not something I do! We Got ready, picked up some drugs from shoppers drug mart and we were set to finish the evening. Well, as we continued to work I thought I was doing real good about hiding how I felt. After Contacting a former Investigator, Elder Fullmer asked "Hey can I drive?"
"Sure. I'm down" I said,
Well we hopped in the car and started her up. Elder Fullmer Looked at me and Said "Elder Johnson, We're going Home."
"What? Why?"
"Well" He said, "you're sick, and obviously unaccountable."
And that's the story of how my awesome Greenie Elder Fullmer put me to bed Early.
So last week we had One really bad storm, and a decently bad storm, that turned out to be a lot of snow shoveling! we worked our Tail-ends off, but that was awesome, and the lord definitely directed us to those who were prepared to hear our message.
One man we met, he openly admitted to us it took a leap of faith and swallowing some humility to allow us to help him. We were able to have an awesome conversation about the temple which was almost literally in his back yard, and told him we'd love to come teach him more about our church. Because he had already taken some humility, he was totally prepared to agree! Pretty cool how the lord works, Eh?
So this is a stellar talk, i've studied this subject a bit, and I've concluded that we should not compare ourselves to others. That simple bit is enough to be pride, whether that leads you to put yourselves beneath or above someone it doesn't matter.

Well, I love you lot's. None of us are perfect by ourselves in this life, but that's why we are so blessed to have Christs's Atonement! And all he asks of us is to work "line upon line, and precept upon precept". We cannot be perfect by ourselves in this instance but we can strive to consistently draw closer to our saviour.
Love
Elder Johnson
