Hello there everyone!
As you can guess by the title, we didn't do a whole lot this
week. I've had a cold + some stupid cough since Tuesday, and my companion got
hit with a nasty bought of the Stomach Flu on Thursday. All in all, not so
good. Oh well! We keep trugging along.
Had interviews with President Salisbury on Monday last week!
That was a fantastic experience. He's a great man. Got to see a lot of my
fellow missionary buddies too! President and I just talked about what I can do
to better our companionship. He talks about becoming unified a lot in pretty
much every message he sends, so we talked about how
my companion and I can
become more unified. I'm still thinking about that and "pondering the
possibilities" as President always says.
I left my planner in the car, so I'm not totally sure what all
we did this week... let's see... what are some of the highlights...
Oh yeah! Monday night, the Hillsville elders stopped by and
Elder Davis and I headed to Hillsville on exchanges! It was a blast! We went
and got sick at a Chinese place for dinner and listened to a bunch of
Protestants have their choir meeting there. It was... interesting. Didn't
really have anything to do after that, and they live 10 miles away from the
actual city where work is (Galax), so we just walked around Hillsville for a
while and chatted, looking for people to street contact at like 8:30. Not very
fruitful, but it was fun!
Tuesday we visited a few of their investigators, and that was
fun. Didn't do a whole lot that morning, but went back to Wytheville around 5
and had dinner with P., one of our recent converts! She made some really
awesome Vegetable soup, which was dearly needed in my vegetable-deprived body.
(Buying some today mom and Hank, before you all freak out)
On Wednesday we taught S. again. We are getting her all
prepared for baptism. President made me swear on my life that we wouldn't
baptize her if she smoked from the time he interviewed her (last monday) to her
baptism (next sunday). Let's hope! Pray! Pray real hard everyone!
That's pretty much all we did this week, because on Thursday my
companion really started to get sick, so we were only able to visit a couple
other people during those times. We also went tracting on Thursday and
Saturday, so that probably didn't help him a whole lot.
Last thing before I go, if all of you reading this would say a
prayer for R. S., one of our investigators. He recently underwent
two surgeries in three days, and he left us a message the other day asking us
to pray for him, because he was hurting pretty bad. :( He's an investigator that's
been investigating for quite some time now.
I love you all! Thank you for all of your continued support in
me! Have a fantastic week, and I'll talk to you all next week. See you all
later!
Love,
Elder Brax Johnson
