Dear Family and Friends,
Oh my, it is Monday again!!!
the time is flying by---we are so busy,
but the work is so fulfilling. We raked leaves for a lady---made me
wonder what my leaves at home are doing (under snow???). At least
I hope there is snow!
We have received so many nice emails
from friends. Thank ya'll for thinking of us.
One of the Elders asked us what the
best part of our Mission was. I think for me is that the two of us
can spend 24-7 together. We have had so many enjoyable times
together. I really appreciate my husband a lot.
Rochelle (our daughter) just sent us a
wonderful Christmas Present. She made gifts for us to give to our
friends here. What a fantastic fun thing to receive!!! we will have
so much fun giving them at Christmas time. Thank you Rochelle.
Our sister Missionaries have left us.
The one young lady needed to go home so she could mend from the
accident, the other has 6 weeks left and was sent to another area.
We will miss them, but they are both in better places for now. The
car accident was very serious and we are just very grateful they were
kept safe.
I love Christmas time. The lights at
night are so beautiful everywhere we go. The Church has put out a
beautiful (short) video on christmas.mormon.org ---if you have not
had a chance to see it---please look on line and watch it. It has a
great message for each of us for Christmas. We are able to show it
to people we see because we have downloaded it on our Ipad. Sister
Peterson sent us a beautiful email with her feeling of Christmas and
her love of Jesus Christ. May each of us have a peaceful Christmas
full of love for our friends and those who we don't even know. Greet
others you meet with a smile and act happy to see them. The
responses you receive make it SO worth while. We miss everyone and
especially this time of year—but we are trying to bring some joy to
others here, so that makes it worthwhile.
We have a grandson that is on a Mission
in Oregon, and another grandson going into the MTC at Provo, Utah on
Wednesday. May they both feel our love for them, as they will be
away from their families this Christmas time also.
We love you all and please know we are
thinking of each of you.
With love, The Johnston Missionaries
