Book of Mormon

Hello Family!!

First exciting news of the week! As a mission we are doing a 100 Day Book of Mormon reading challenge and it's the best thing ever! We're only on Day 7, but I've learned so many new things from the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon really is for us and it can answer our questions. One thing I noticed was in 1 Nephi 11 it talk about Jesus Christ. Every time it talks about him, He's in action. He was going forth among the children of men (v.24), he went forth and was baptized (v.27), he went forth ministering unto the people(v.28), he was going forth among the children of men(v.31). Jesus Christ always WENT FORTH to the children of men. Always in action. He didn't stay there and make people come to Him, but He went forth to them. We can be more Christlike by going forth and helping others! Be anxiously engaged in a good cause!:)

So, funny story of the week!! Haha this is so good! Me and Sister Bongolto were crying cause we were laughing so hard! So we ride the busses everywhere, and we were in line to get on the bus. We were next and for some reason the door started closing! Sister Bongolto tried to stop it so she stuck out her hands out but they kept closing. We thought it would be like a sensor and open again like an elevator door when you stop it. But it didn't... so her hands, well more like her fingers and her metro card, were stuck in the door with her metro card sticking out on the inside haha! Both hands! And she goes "I'm stuuuck!" I thought at first it would open but it didn't so then I was like, what if it cuts off her fingers! I said "are you stuck?!" and I tried to help her pull her hands out haha! The bus driver opened the door and we got in, and then he just looked at us and didn't even say anything to us haha! We went to the back and we couldn't stop laughing about it haha! What if he drove away with her hands stuck? Haha! Maybe you just have to be there? But it was super funny:)

Yesterday we taught a powerful Restoration lesson and the Spirit really testified to me that its true! The Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ is for each one of us. No matter who we are, where we are, what we're struggling with or succeeding at. God has followed a pattern of love by calling prophets to teach us how to live with Him again and be happy! Nothing will take away God's love for us, and that's why He appeared to Joseph Smith with Jesus Christ and they called Him to be a prophet. I know it's true! And I know it's true because I know the Book of Mormon is true! 

Make it a great week! And make it an even better week by reading from the Book of Mormon every day!:) Wahoo! I love you guys!

Love, Sister Johnson
