Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello Family!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I hope you know how grateful I am for all your love, support, and prayers! I hope you eat delicious pie and yummy stuffing and fulfill all your wildest turkey dreams:) But really, I am so grateful for YOU!! 

Miracle of the week:) Guess how many investigators we had at church on Sunday?! Just guess... :) 6!!! Wow! And with our less actives as well, we had 11 people that we're working with at church! Is that not a Thanksgiving miracle or what?! We had our lovely family - Daisy and her 3 kids. Then we had our returning member Nichole and her boyfriend Eke (AK) come which was the best ever!! Another investigator and her son came, and then 3 other members we're working with came! So awesome!!

This week it was COLD! It's officially become cold weather. You go outside and it's not that bad... and then the WIND comes, and the wind is freezing!! It really does cut through your clothes haha! But my warm clothes are doing their job and keeping me warm so it's okay. I'll probably just be a wuss for the next 4 months while it's cold;) But I'll still enjoy it at the same time!

I am so grateful for this time to be a missionary here in New York! I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ! I know this gospel can change lives, and I'm grateful for the chance I have to be a part of His work:) I know Heavenly Father loves each one of us and he has a plan for us. Not only has he shown us the outline of his plan, but he's given us the steps we need to take to return to live with him. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, and that through him we can reach our goals. Through Christ we can be happy and we can live with our Father and our families forever! I am so grateful for Joseph Smith and his faith as he trusted in the Lord and restored the gospel to the earth. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and the powerful witness it is of God's love and guidance on the earth today! I am so grateful for the peace, comfort, and guidance that comes from the Holy Ghost so that we can know for ourselves that this gospel is true!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and may we all "live in Thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which He doth bestow upon us." (Alma 34:38)

Love, Sister Johnson

PS. I loved getting little notes from everyone. Tell the family I say 'Hi' and thank you so much!

PPS If you see Daniel or Janie Harvey - tell them that Daniel was right and that everyone really does fold their pizza in half to eat it!
