Sister Riana Johnson: Life as a Michiganary: how has it been a week

September 7, 2020

this week has seriously flown by and i feel like just yesterday i was writing my email to y’all. all good things tho haha. we did get our transfer news! sister olson and i are staying! she is great and i am excited to keep working with williamston. we are having 38 brand new missionaries coming in and we might have a change in two weeks but might not! we don’t know hahaha.

• we found this REALLY cute family this week! this mom and daughter are so sweet and are excited to learn more. jesse is probably 10 years old and loved reading the book of mormon and talked about her relationship with God. and lakita said the sweetest prayer at the end. we have only taught them over the phone but hopefully we can video call soon!

• we have been doing facebook lives every week and i have really started enjoying them haha. tune in to the facebook page, come unto christ south central michigan at 7:30pm (michigan time) on wednesdays for christlike attributes and my personal facebook at 8pm on fridays for miracles of christ!

• we got to watch the baptism for jasmika (someone that sister olson taught in grand rapids) and it was so touching. she is so sweet and had the strongest testimony of the gosepl.

jasmikas baptism!

• while waiting for a lesson to start the other night, sister olson and i were whistling and started harmonizing and it was actually so funny. we decided to make a video of us whistling if you could hie to kolob and put it to the background of galaxies, but idk that it will get posted....

• we also heart attacked some friends and members to help bring some light to their day! so fun. we haven't been able to do community service, but it was sweet to be able to serve others!

heart attacks!

a scripture that I have been thinking a lot about this week is 2 Corinthians 4:17 "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"
