My week was fantastic. Elder Foster is such a good missionary! He is a super hard worker and we have seen a ton of miracles. One day we were walking on a bus and the bus driver asked if she could come to church. She just asked! We are going to be teaching her Friday. Also we played soccer, or I should say football, with about 20 Africans. It was so much fun and we got some referrals from it. Elder foster is a varsity soccer player so he was killing those guys. Then we taught this lady named Feya. Hernandez and I taught her about 3 weeks before and since then she has read 19 chapters of the Book of Mormon and in her closing prayer of the lesson, she said "if I come to know if these things are true I will embrace them whole heartedly"! Also our investigator Alex who is 14 gave a talk in sacrament meeting... Yes our investigator gave a talk. It was so good and he bore his testimony! The whole young men's program was asked to speak in sacrament for priesthood commemoration and we figured he has been to church 6 times so he's ready to give a talk haha not sure if it was allowed but it was so so good! That's my life. I'm loving it!
One of my favourite personal insights from last weeks studies was in the fifth chapter of Jacob versus 21 and 22. The servant asks why would you plant this tree here, the ground is bad. The master replies don't council me for I have been working here a long time. The Lord's hand is in all things. We need to have faith and stop asking "why did you do this" or "why did you put me here". We need to be asking what can I do now with what you have given me or what would you have me do. The Lord has been working on us and those around us forever. Have faith that He is doing what he says He is doing. An abiding trust in Him will bring miracles.
I love you!
Love elder Johnson
