Dear Family and Friends,
We have been seen many miracles happen
while we have been here.
On Elder Johnston's birthday it rained
a lot at home. Sterling had planted a major part of our wheat into
dry ground and was needing moisture very badly---the rain was at a
perfect time for the wheat. What a blessing to have the rain come
for us and everyone else. Now the snow covering the wheat will even
be a greater miracle for the winter wheat. Heavenly Father indeed is
watching over us.
There was another huge miracle here.
Our Sister Missionaries were involved in a very serious car
accident. They were really being watched over and protected because
with only minor problems they are okay. The other driver had to be
life flighted and was in the hospital several days.
There
is a new Elder here. He is very good and we really enjoy working with
the Elders very much. Such an inspiring thing to be able to be around
them.
There
are many of our visits each day that are not so great, but we feel if
we can have one good thing happen a day---we are blessed. One night
we were looking for an inactive member—in the dark---our GPS took
us to what looked like a dead end. Elder Johnston saw a man just
getting home, so he went over to ask for directions. It really is a
polite thing to tell people who we are and why we are looking for a
person. We look quite official in a suit, you know. I feel like
sometimes people wonder what we are doing. Anyway, elder Johnston
asked him what church he went to. He said he was looking for a
different church to go to. We gave him some reading material and went
back a week later. He is so kind and hopefully is interested. It is
so wonderful meeting new people and trying to be of service to
people.
We went with the Elders and helped
rake up leaves for a lady today. It started out cold but the sun
came out and it was fun.
Hope you are not freezing too much at
home. We think of you all with loving thoughts because we miss you.
Love ya'all, the Johnston's
