Hello everyone,
 
This week was a good week and a bad week for us, we were able to get Wilber baptized and it definitely was a neat experience for him.  He seemed so happy after the baptism, he told me before he was a little bit nervous because he didn´t know what to expect.  But right after, he told me he felt great and how happy he was, it´s just so awesome the way people want to change their lives, and they get to receive that change, it´s great how happy they feel after baptism. So we were so focused in figuring out how we were going to get our investigators to church, we missed out on  opportunities to teach others.  I have put a lot of thought into focusing on how we are going to find the chosen, we have a really good plan of how we are going to do that this week. We were able to have two investigator show up to church and they are two families, we are also going to focus on helping them. I also enjoyed the talk by Elder Maynes, I have thought a lot about what he said and it has helped me want to be a better missionary. Well I heard that mom got released from her calling!  Just remember mom, God will have a different calling for you, you will still have a different purpose to perform, Bishop will just have to figure out what that is. :)  The only thing I don´t like about my ward, I don´t like to say it but, they don´t like to work!  So having members bring investigators to church is almost impossible!  But we and the presidency of the ward have a plan of how we can help, we will try it out and find out how it will work. Oh I almost forgot to say Happy Fathers day to dad, and that´s fine that you took $700 out of my account, but it looks like it will be paid back to me when I return home! haha! Make sure you tell grandpa Williams and grandpa Johnson Happy Fathers Day also and that I love them!  I have been taking a lot of pictures, matter of fact, I actually bought a 16gb flash drive to store all of my pictures and I have filled a lot of it up, it should be full by the time I return home. Well I love you all, you are all in my prayers, keep strong and remember to have faith in God.  Till next week!

Love Elder Johnson
