We saw some cool miracles yesterday. Rick and his
daughter came to church. We had a lesson in Gospel Principles about
tithing and fast offerings and he asked us if he was allowed to pay
tithing before he was baptized. He was really excited about it. He also
participated in Elder's Quorum a lot. This was great progress for Rick
because he hardly had any Christian background growing up so its hard
for him to participate because he doesn't understand a lot of the things
we talk about at church. It was awesome to see the way that he soaked
up everything he could yesterday. It was also really cool to see the way
that he interacted with members. He looks like he's been going to
church for years.
We were disappointed that Sebastian and
Janita didn't come to church. Later that night we went by to find out
why. Sebastian told us that he and Janita had a lot of stuff they had to
do in Spokane that day and they also spent some family time at the
mall. But then he told us that they still wanted to go to church so they
looked up the locations on their phone and went to church out in
Spokane. It was sweet! I mean I still want them to come to our ward but
the fact that they made church a big enough priority to go to a
different church even though it was inconvenient was pretty exciting.
Elder
Leavitt is going home in 1 week. Its really weird. Last Thursday we had
our weekly planning session. They way we do it is we write down our
schedule for every half hour for the week on our whiteboard. After we
were done Elder Leavitt looked up at it and said, "My entire mission is
on that whiteboard" AHHHHHHH. Missions go by way too fast!
Transfers
are coming up in a week. I probably won't leave but you never know. I
sure hope I don't. We found out that we only have 3 new missionaries
coming into the mission and about 30 that are going home. So basically
this transfer a whole bunch of areas will be combined. It will be
interesting to see what happens.
That's whats goin on in Cheney.
Love Ya!
-Elder (Andre) Johnson
