Big announcement: I hit my yearmark this thursday! I am super grateful for this opportunity to be able to serve in the fantastic mission. It has been hard. It has been demanding. It has required high amounts of effort. but it has been the most valuable experience in my life, and it is laying the foundation of my life and etternity.
All this week I have noticed tons and tons of miracles pouring from the windows of heaven. For example, I was sick yesterday all night throwing up black matter alongside the discharges from the other end. While I was traveling home to go to sleep, I hopped into a taksibe and noticed that neither me nor my companion had any Ariary money in our pockets I was clutching my stomach and muttering to the driver that we had no money. He scoffed a little bit and some people laughed at us to scorn since white people usually have money. Then, he said, "Its ok. Don't worry about it." I was shell shocked. He had let me go on the ride without money. it was clearly a blessing from father in heaven. I have also been noticing a lot of small miracles in my life. I have come to grow stronger in resisting temptation since I ask for that protection daily. I have been able to love those that hate me, to bless those that curse me, and to pray for those that despitefully use me. i love the people of Madagazcar. Being here has been such an adventure. A peice of my heart will stay here in Madagascar when I leave to go home. I love this work. The rules don't hold me back;They protect me. They don't make me sad; They fill me with joy. Sure, its hard to hear from the people how cool the newest avengers movie is or how cool this song is or that and the other. I love this work.
I love you all so much and i hope that this week will bring you happiness!
Veloma avy,
Elder Johnson
