Hey There!
Well dang, check that out huh. Another one bites the dust and it took like, 2.3 seconds to do it.
This week has been another good one, and we've been working our tails off to be able to find people to teach, and we finally did!! We met a couple of really cool guys this last week because of an assignment that was given to us by the Branch President to "Tract Into Someone". After having found said person, we decided to check out the area a little bit, and we ran into David and Doug. We're excited to see how everything goes with them.
Other cool things, we had zone conference in Centerville and it was great to be able to see everyone. We were invited to a basketball game that one of the young men were playing in the next day 🏀which was awesome! Church was cancelled yesterday (due to weather). Which made it a really interesting day for us and I hope the weather doesn't do anything trash to us next week, but I guess we'll see what goes on.
It's been a super quick week, so there's not a whole lot to talk about, but something that really impressed me was in my studies.
Right now, in the Cincinnati Mission, we're doing our best to read the Book of Mormon by Easter, and we're marking all the promised blessings. Along with marking all the references to the Godhead, seeing all these blessings, it's been nuts! Seeing all the blue throughout the pages is a sight to see. If you haven't paid attention to that in your studies, make sure to, and see all the wonderful blessings that God has in store for you.

TIll Next Week!!
Sure Love Ya!!!

Hello Everyone!!
I'm so glad you had a good week! Sabrina looks great 😁
This week pretty much went by in another flash of lightning, we've been so busy. This week was comprised of 2 more sets of baptismal interviews, so many meetings, and a couple of really fun exchanges!
The most significant part of the week was when we got to see Jared move onto his next step. Last Sunday we were able to be a part of his ordination as a Priest. It's really really cool to see him want to keep moving forward, growing his faith in Jesus Christ, realizing the plan that's been made to help him in his life, and then seeing him receive the blessings of doing so.
We just got back from being able to go bowling with a part of the district too so that was pretty neat 😁
There's really not a whole lot that I have to say about this last week, but we've been able to help move the work forward here in Greenville, Ohio!

Have a great week!
Sure Love Ya!!

Well Hey!

I cannot believe that another week just went and past! It's been a stinkin party so i guess time flies when you're having fun!

This week has been a blast. Everything from the district staying together, to getting bikes and being drenched from head to toe, to being assigned to give the talks in sacrament meeting. All in all, this weeks been going way too fast to even remember all the bits and pieces, but here are some highlights 😁

1. Like i said, we got bikes this week, so since we have such a cool new way to move around that all the cool kids are using these days, we've used them like none other! Let me tell you, it's super nice to finally be able to go around real quick and still save miles! The other day as we rode around we talked to so many people!!! Whether or not they were just showing us some extra sympathy because we were going around in the pouring rain, who knows. All I know is I'm not mad about being able to talk to people about this amazing gospel so keep those rains comin!

2. The official "Dopest District in The Entire District" is staying together for another transfer to rock out in the OCM, and we're already killin it! With already 3 baptisms down from the past 2 weeks, we're doing our darndest to keep up the game and push the mission goal of 202 baptisms moving at the speed of light!

3. Elder Lawrence and I were able to give talks in sacrament meeting and they were killer if I say so myself and I will 😂

This week was a blast and I can't wait for another one!

Sure Love Ya!

Hello Family!
So, some recent news is that for the next 6 weeks, I'll not only be able to stay with Elder Lawrence, but with the rest of the district! So as a district we've decided that it's going to be the best this district's ever seen! And by the looks of it, we're starting off with a BANG!
ALready, we've had a baptism to end and start the year, and in the district, there's a baptism planned for every weekend in January. You could say that things are starting off pretty well. We've seen some challenges, but overall, we're pushing through and moving forward as a group. Now that the seasons are over and gone, and we've all set new goals for the mission, zones, districts, and ourselves, we have a lot to look forward to! One of my goals this next year is definetally to make sure to email EVERY WEEK! Even if they may be short 😂 We've had plenty of miracles here, and we're just hoping that we can keep adding wood to the fire! SO PLEASE pray for us cause we need all your help! I love each one of you and am so grateful for all the support that you give me and all the missionaries that are serving.

Till next week! Sure Love Ya!
Elder Johansen
