General Conference

Hello Family!

General Conference was amazing, wow! I love the encouragement, inspiration , and unity we can feel at General Conference and I know those who spoke to us were called by God and spoke His words:) I love General Conference!! And now that we've heard all these wonderful talks, what are we going to do about it? Therefore, what? Like Elder Anderson said, "There is a treasure chest of heavenly direction awaiting your discovery in the messages of general conference. The test for each of us is how we respond to what we hear, what we read, and what we feel." Is that not a wonderful and exciting promise? A TREASURE CHEST full of guidance, blessings, and help! So, what are we going to do?! These talks are like our modern day scriptures specific for the next six months of our lives. I encourage you to "feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." Review the talks and act on the messages we have received because they really will tell you all things you should do in the next 6 months!:) 

We had a super great Missionary Finding activity at the SUNY Campus yesterday! We had one of the young women in our branch, Lizzie, paint a world map on the back of our Book of Mormon board up here! (Sounds familiar right? Flashback to the city!) She did a great job and we were able to talk to a lot of people about Family History work and introduce them to the restored gospel:) We found two new investigators and the Elders found one as well, which is already heading towards more than we have found in a while! It's been amazing as a mission to focus on individuals age 18-30. This is the decade of decisions always talked about, and this is an amazing time to change their life! We've been spending a lot more time at the campus, and it's been fun to act in faith and have cool little contacts with people.

We also did some fun service for a few members this week! We got to paint someone's room and we did some yard work cleaning and organizing so that was fun! 

Also it's Sister Perkins birthday today! Wahoo:) P-day B-day! Here's a funny story about her in honor of her birthday:) She grew up on a farm and the other night she told me how she would clean their chickens. In my head I was like, "aww they give their chickens a bath, how cute!" until the conversation turned to chopping their heads off... different kind of clean;) She's great though and I'm glad I get to be her companion:)

Make it a great week! 

Love, Sister Johnson
