Investigators are better than alligators :)

Hello my wonderful family!

This week was so so great! Our investigators are awesome and im going to update you on lots of them and tell you some stories about them today:) The email title... Alligators was the only thing I could think of that rhymes with investigators haha! But the weather is cooling down which is nice! And transfers will be this week on Tuesday, so it will be exciting, different, and nerve-wracking to see what happens! :) :/ :D But whatever happens will be great:)

We have the cutest investigator named Krystal. She's been the Elders investigator for a while but they passed her off to us. She has a baptism date which we're so excited for!! She's also super pregnant and is due on October 4th. We've taught her a few lessons, but the other night we were able to teach her AND her husband! They're married and so cute and the spirit was so wonderful in that lesson. We didnt know he would be there for the lesson, but what we had planned for Krystal ended up being perfect for him! The spirit was able to guide the lesson and we taught about how scripture study and pray can help us come closer to Heavenly Father and closer to each other as a family. They were so supportive of each other and so cute! 

So two Fridays ago we were on our way home at night and we met a guy on the street named Jose. The next Sunday he came to church which was so crazy and awesome! We've taught him a little and he came to church again this Sunday which was our fast and testimony meeting. But what was so cool is that HE BORE HIS TESTIMONY!!! What?! After a few people had gone up he just stood up and walked up there haha! Me and Sister Bongolto looked at each other and we were a little nervous at first cause he usually talks a lot in our lessons, but his testimony was short and sweet. He did great! And he even talked about his two beautiful angels, Sister Bongolto and Sister Johnson (as he points to us in the congregation haha!) who brought him to the true church. It was awesome haha!

We had a great lesson with our investigator Shanessa. She's been an investigator for a while, so we had just had a nice lesson to try to understand her concerns and expectations. I had asked about her expectations and she was saying she knows she can do better, but she can't be healed. We all have sicknesses that can be improved but can't be healed because we're human. I said "Shanessa, the church is kind of like a hospital. We all have our sicknesses and weaknesses, but I promise you that you CAN be healed. Through Jesus Christ you can be completely healed..." and then after a little pause she said "Then I need to get to the hospital fast." We can all be healed. The gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone and no matter what our weaknesses are, we can all be healed:)

GENERAL CONFERENCE IS THIS WEEK!! Wahoo!! We're about to receive guidance for the next 6 months of our lives! What I plan to do, and what I invite you to do is imagine you're standing with Heavenly Father. If you were standing with Him, what would you ask him? Write it down, and take that question or questions to conference!:)

I love you so much! Thanks for all the love, prayers, and support! Make it a great week:)

Love, Sister Johnson
