To bring celebration through meditation, giving thanks for all of creation" -Nahko (Email from 11/28/16)

Aloha everyone!!

I hope you all had fantastic thanksgiving! Elder Golden and I had a nice family from the ward feed us. I love Thanksgiving because it help us realize that there really is so much to be grateful for. Life is full of ups and downs, but even when you're having a rough day, there is always positivity that can be found. 


These past couple weeks have been pretty great. We helped out with a service project that ended up being a pretty big deal. We were helping someone clean out an old vacant Grocery store, and we were loading these gigantic refrigerators onto a trailer. It started out that there were 6 of us there moving some 1300 lb pieces. Eventually more missionaries came, which was nice, but ended up moving a couple more that were even bigger. If you left without any cuts on your hands, you weren't trying hard enough!

We have been meeting with our investigator, Sergio, who is doing awesome. We met his daughter and her fiance that are going to be married in the Portland Temple later in December! They are a cute couple. Sergio is seriously one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He still hasn't fully committed to be baptized yet, but we are still working with him! 

We were able to meet with Valerie, who had been a little hard to get a hold of before. She is honestly so ready to be baptized, but her big hold up is church attendance. 

Christmas season now starting up! It's crazy to think that it's that time of year again! I'm mainly looking forward to Festivus, though ;)

Stay positive and love your life!

Alohe ke Akua

Much love,

Elder Johnson
