Week 5

Hey!

Im actually doing suprisingly good! Yesterday i was just thinking and i was wondering how i have almost no stress. The spirit is truly a comforter. I wish i had more experiences with the spirit in my life. I need to get more in tune with the spirit. Or just recognize what the spirit tells me.

It is funny that you asked about dreams. Send a couple on email and a couple in the mail. cause the mail does take a while to get here. I have had some interesting ones that kinda made one day hard. Ill tell you about one of them. I dont know how to explain it but there was some dark think floating around and it flew at me and it would just hold me down and it was hard to break free. But once i did i felt free. I dont know how to explain it. But that night i also prayed that i would be able to get past some off the stuff of my past that keeps coming to mind.. Because there is alot of time to just think here and sometimes my mind wanders alot. And it is really distracting. But i think i am doing alot better. 

What i mean by my District need work is a couple of the Elders just talk so much crap behind peoples back and it can be reeally frustrating. And something just isnt right about our district. One of our teaches pulled me out of class this week and talked to me for a while about how i can try and help the district become close to God. Apparently i am one of the anchors in my District.  I hope i can help them. I be parying alot because we only have 2 more weeks. My companion has still been having alot of problems. It is highly likely he wont be able to serve the full 2 years. I feel so bad. I hope he can get through it. They just wont give him the medicine he needs for IDK why. But he has had the issues and they probably should have been sorted out before but was not able to be done.

If you havent sent it yet make sure on the music player or whatever there is ALOT of just gospel music or classical music. And of course Lindsey Stirling.

So these last 2 weeks have just flown by. Like So fast. It is awesome though becasue it can get really repetetive here. The days are long but the weeks are short.  Only 2 weeks then i will be in the FIELD! That is just so crazy! Yesterday we tried to do some street contacting outside the CCM. Lets just say REJECTED. Haha like 7 times. We didnt even get to talk to anyone. Oh well it was fun. 

Move to Idoaho? Why? that just seems weird. I guess St. Anthony is really close! I was going to move there anyways. Well not move there but go to school at BYU Idaho. St. Anthony is like 30 minutes away from BYU. So i think that would be super fun to take a quad up with me. haha idk that is a while away! It is funny i have only been here a week and i already have a good idea what i want to do when i get back. 

What else was this week.... Oh ya i bought a cool hand made bag and some hand made gloves for like 15 bucks. I feel so bad for spending money out here it is so weird. Everyone else in my district just blows money everywhere. Its funny. I will try to spend as little as i can. This week i am going to be buying some body wash, deoderent, fash wash because my face gets oily here cause of the humidity, and some sweat pants! I totally for get to bring sweats. I hope that is fine if i get some!

I am so glad that i have this oppurtunity to be out here! Thank you so much for the help. This has been the best decision i have made in my life. I miss you and and Love you all sooo much!

James good luck with the new schooling and get done with it! Just keep up the motivation while doing the online school. It can  be tough but i know you can do it. Stay an example to all your friends and recognize the spirit in you life. That it something that i wish i couldve been worthy for more. The companionship of the spirit is so comforting. Pray for everything and always give thanks to everything our Father in heaven blesses us with. 

Zanna good luck with school and all the extra things you do like piano and singing. I wish i wouldve stuck with piano. Stay an example to all your friends and always strive for more.

All of you keep up the good work of studying the scripture and preach my gospel. Such a blessing ins our live to have these tools.

All of you study 1 nephi 13. This chapter is amazingly cool. Read the summary of it then read very carefully. It is about Christopher Columbos and the pilgrims after him. These thing where revealed to nephi way before they actually happend. Verses i think 17 to 20 talk about the revolutionary war. And how we only won because the power of god. This is incredible. You may already knw about it but i didnt. Look up a study guide for that chapter too if you want.

Anyways again i love you all and miss you so much!

Love Elder Justin Johnson
