JOHNSON IN WISCONSIN

This past week was incredible. I gave a district meeting about miracles and inviting more people. Elder Ballard last year challenged all the missionaries in the world to invite at least 10 people a day (which for a companionship is 20 people per day 140 per week)> for some reason i had not applied myself to that challenge from an apostle from the lord as i know we would be blessed by comitting ourseleves so last week me and E. Whiltock got bold and started inviting everybody, busses, streets, houses, and bpy were we blessed. We taught 20 lessons last week (which in our mission is really good). We met so many new people to teach and saw a few miracles of our own. Last night we were tractign a street and were havinh no luck. We were tired and hungry and murmuring cuz nobody on that street would talk to us. There were only 2 houses left and we honestly wanted to say "screw it lest go home and eat dinner" but we knocked on the 2nd to lats door and this guy Dave told us to come in. He proceeded to tell us that he had just gotten back from Utah as his son is going to a school for kids who need help from breaking the law and stuff like that. He said he has always been impressed with our church and that this last time in Utah he was really thinking about looking into the church and we showed up on his doorstep, talk about the Lord having a hand in this work!! He had not time to talk unfortunatly so we quiickly gave him a BOM and got his contact info and he wants us to teach him. Man i love being a missionary as it strenghthens my testimony so much, even when we were complaining and almost gave up we got blessed by finding this new & prepared man to teach. Sometimes we just need a wake up call. I cannot wait till i come home and i can read to you from my journal all of the miracles i have seen on my mission and testify to you that the Lord really does lead us and guide us in our lives when we turn to him. Dave was only one of many new people we met last week and hope to teach again. Life is good in Madison!
