April 17: Green grass in Ontario!

Hello everyone, 

Spring is most definitely in the air here. The weekend was beautiful, with temperatures peaking 20 degrees. I hope everyone had a fantastic week and a spiritual Easter Weekend because I did! I hope you had some good experiences with the "Prince of Peace" Easter video. If you still haven't shared it with someone it's not too late because we should celebrate Christ everyday.

Our investigator Hubert is actually on a week long vacation in a tropical place so we won't be able to meet with him but we hope he will have a relaxing experience and continue to read his scriptures and pray. One of our returning member's we are working with attended the temple for baptisms which was the first time for her in many many years. She had an amazing experience, she is doing so well! 

We some something really cool while tracting on Saturday. One house had the garage door open and parked inside were 2 impressive cars. The owner was working in his garage and he was happy to talk about his cars. I should've taken a picture. One was a Ford model from 1905: it was all black it's cabin looked like a carriage, it could probably seat 6. The other car was from 1915, it was red with gold painted trim and it didn't have a roof to the cabin. It was smaller then the Ford and the horn looked like a funky brass instrument attached to the wheel, matching the gold/brass trim. The cars were so cool, and the awesome thing is, is that he drives these cars to work sometimes! He has to hand crank them to get them going but they can still go! Anyways, that was pretty sweet even though the owner of the cars wasn't interested in the gospel, a super cool guy christian guy though.

Transfers are coming up this week so I'll let you know what happens next Monday! 

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Elder Johnson

May 23: Loads of Service this Week and Golfing!

​​Hello! Yesterday was not our p-day because of Victoria Day. We missionaries do the opposite of everybody else: the Sabbath is definitely not a day of rest and holidays are go days!  My week started off pretty sweet. For p-day Elder Kohl and I went to the golfing range and also played on the chipping and putting green. We shared a $14 bucket of balls and played for close to 3 hours so it was absolutely worth it! I'm still good at golf :) We also helped out the members a lot this week. We have mowed and done weed whacking for a couple senior members, helped a sister pack stuff before she moves, cleaned out gutters, painted a bedroom, and de-cluttered a back yard. What would the ward do with out us?! Some might think that's too much service, I think I would rather be doing that than tracting haha.  We've been primarily working with the members to find people to teach. This way of finding basically looks like the following:...

January 22, 2018 - The Iron Rod is a sure Foundation

Hi, We found a really nice lady this week through tracting. She really liked the Restoration message and we answered her many questions. She's married and in her 30's. She is just a really cool person so I'm excited to keep meeting with her. Elder Martin and I have been pushing ourselves to talk to more people recently. We set a weekly goal to give out a certain number of Book of Mormon's. Having the goal in mind has motivated me to get out and talk to people when I don't feel like it--it's a feeling I get a lot unfortunately. I've noticed there is always opposition before and after we do something important for Christ.  Getting up Sunday morning and going to church has never been difficult for me; however, living what I learned at church is a little more difficult. I've learned that the adversary is relentless at "following-up" with me shortly after I have a spiritual experience. Satan will do anything in his power to make me lose t...

January 29, 2018 - No Longer Stuck in a Rut

Hello, We transitioned from flip phones to smart phones this week. Unfortunately for me, my phone has not been delivered yet so I have to wait a little longer. And unfortunately for Elder Martin, the software on his phone is glitchy and he can't get into it so he has to get the software re-installed by a Samsung specialist. Unfortunately for us, we are the only companionship in the mission without a working smart phone right now. Hopefully the specialist gets it fixed today so we can get on with things. We've just been using our old flip phone and it works fine for now. In my email last week I talked about a lady we found by knocking on her door.  Her name is Michelle, we had our first sit down lesson with her yesterday and it went very well. She has a catholic background but didn't stick with the religion (big surprise there, no offense to the Catholic church). She accepted the message of the restoration (she understood the apostasy and the need for priesthood auth...
