Seeing New Doors Open :)

Hello Family!

We had a great week! Jennifer is doing so well! She was at the hospital for a few days so she missed church, but she took her Book of Mormon with her and has been reading:) After telling her the promise from President Monson about how as we read the Book of Mormon daily will "we will be in a position to hear the voice of the Spirit, to resist temptation, to overcome doubt and fear, and to receive heaven’s help in our lives" she's been making it a priority to read every day! So instead of being on her phone in the morning or on the train she reads the Book of Mormon! She's up to 1 Nephi 14 and it's amazing to see how happy she is! 

We had a lesson with her last night and taught about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We were talking about how she's already been showing faith and she's been repenting as she changes and she thought that was so cool! She caught right on to our mission motto of Repentance is Cool! As we talked about baptism and the Holy Ghost and how it washes away all out sins and we can have the Spirit with us always she was basically jumping in her seat and she said "Oh my goodness I'm so excited already! Stop talking about it!" We set a baptism date with one of her sons as well who came to church with her and also went to mutual this week. We are so excited for them and it's been truly amazing to see how the Gospel is changing her and to see the amazing amount of joy it is bringing her! 

She saw a recent convert in the ward receive the gift of the Holy Ghost on her first Sunday at church so we asked her about her feelings. As she explained it she said, "it was like he had a new purpose and a new life that day. It's like the saying when one door closes another door opens, and I feel like that moment is when the door opened for him. I wanted that for me but I didn't tell you that, but now that I can have that, I'm so excited!" Thank you for all the prayers for her, they are definitely blessing her:) 

The funny of the week comes from our Art Tours at the Lincoln Square Chapel. As we were going along we got to the painting "Come Forth" about the Title of Liberty. I said "This is a painting of Captain America. . . I mean Captain Moroni!!" I don't know why, but Captain America just came out of my mouth instead of Captain Moroni! Haha! Luckily we were giving the tour to a member so he just laughed and said "Captain Moroni is just as cool as Captain America!" Oh boy;)

Miracles are happening, and the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ really can and does change lives! I'm seeing it now and it's amazing:)

Love, Sister Johnson
